I've seen many stupid videos on youtube for people who get arrested for not calling in an emergency. but i was in a situation where i was so mad at my dad because we had a huge argument and we started cussing and yelling so i called 9-1-1 but i hung up immediately they showed up at my door with around 6 cops and asked what was going on. i told them i just had an argument and that it's ok now and all the other cops were like aww what? and all that disappointment noises. so i was wondering why didnt i get arrested? i was 14 that time
You would have to replace all four- however, I think you need a 4x4, or at least an all wheel drive car. Snow tires will help, but you still will fishtail some. p.s. I love my jeep!!!
If you only have 2, put them on the front. Another pair on the back might help some, not sure though. I've never had a problem with a front wheel drive car fishtailing.
Front wheel drive cars dont fishtail in the snow. The back wheels just follow the car. They cant try to pass it as on a rear drive. You should do fine with a good matched set of all season tires. If you go too fast when its slippery the back end will come around sideways. Snowtires wont help that. Slow down! Or drag an anchor.
car alarms do not monitor certain windows, they have a glass break sensor that goes off if any window is busted.
Ugh. I don't like the answers suggesting you use 2 snow tires. In my opinion, if you're going to get snow tires, you need snow tires on all four wheels. While it is true that only the tires on your front wheels will help you accelerate in a straight line, that's only one thing to be concerned with. With only 2 snow tires, you're losing a significant amount of your braking power - getting started is optional, stopping is not. It's easier to recover from your rear wheels losing traction with a FWD vehicle, but not having to do that at all is even better. Once your rear end goes, any number of potentially bad things can happen before you regain control. Economically, if you use only 2 snow tires, you're going to be messing up the tire wear on your other two tires. You really want your tires to wear evenly to get the maximum mileage out of them - hence, tire rotation. The person above who is talking about tires ripping up pavement is talking about studded tires. Regular snow tires do not put significantly more wear on the roads. I don't know where you are, but if you're someplace with all-winter hard ice on the road, you may want to consider studs. If you're driving on snow or mixed snow and ice standard snow tires will be enough. Snow tires make a dramatic difference over all-season tires in winter conditions. It's the difference between getting around if I have to and driving cautiously but confidently. Also, consider keeping a set of chains in your car for emergencies.
