My buddy picked up a 2004 S60R AWD last year and hasn't gone through a winter yet with it.
When I asked him the other day what he was going to do for the winter with regards to tires (he's running the stock 18"), he mentioned that he was just going to not run it and drive the family's 850. He is concerned that the car is too low for our Eastern Canadian winters.
I mentioned to him that the AWD system really kicks in the snow and that he would really enjoy the car during the winter.
He would have put 17" steel wheels and tires, but then was too concernd about the height.
Any thoughts on height issues?
Thanks!
