Hi All,

First off I tried to search for information but I must be doing something wrong. No matter what I put in I get B@W and So CAL lounge posts...

Anyways, I have a 2010 6 speed RX8 and I am planning a trip to Lake Tahoe and I am sure I will hit some snow. My questions are:

1. Is this simply a terrible idea and should I just rent a car?

2. If not can I use snow cables if needed?

3. If yes to two what will my sled handle like in adverse weather condition?

I love this car more each day (I researched this purchase for many months before I bought and you all have been so generous in sharing your knowledge) and I do not want to do anything "ill-advised" yet the thought of a nice road trip is very enticing...

Thanks to all and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

hey Yogi,

It's not a TERRIBLE idea but depending on what tires you have it could be a very "interesting" experience.
Our cars typically come with high performance summer tires which means you will not have much grip in very cold weather an especially in snow.
If you are going to take it, I would think snow chains are a must.
how much experience do you have driving in the snow?
