My Cruiser was fine through six inches of snow!!!

[REESE]

With a record winter of snow in Connecticut I have certainly had the opportunity to test out the handling of my 5 speed cruiser. Yesterday I got caught in a snow storm and by the time I arrived home I was cruising through 6 inches of snow. I took it easy and can report no problems. Once I arrived home we received a total of 25 inches of snow and I am not crazy to drive in that much snow, but don't think any vehicle could have driven safely in those conditions.

We got a little more then you did up here Reese and I had all I could do to get around in the 4WD !
I have not had the PT out in the snow - but many others have said the same thing ! This is a great little Sno-Bunnie !

I have had mine out in all the storms so far. Living in Mass, the snow is generally heavy and wet. It has been a great car so far. Handles far better than my Laser that I had, although I miss the AWD. Still, the additional weight and the wider stance really help. I think what I hate the most is all the crap that gets unleashed from the potholes. It flies up and you can hear it hitting all over the bottom of your car. I'm sure spring will be even worse. That's why I'm planning on heading south after this winter.

That was one hum dinger of a storm! Was wondering if any of our PTE friends were out there driving in that. Glad to hear it got you home okay. I still haven't had Max in any significant snow yet. Got caught once but there was only about 2 inches on the ground. Cruised right on home.

I been on some slick road where it don't want to turn so good! But I blame it on the tires. With a better set of tires I'm sure the PT would do great. When I first got mine I looked into trading the Eagle LS tires for a more truck like tire, but the tire dealer wouldn't give me any good credit on the Eagle LS's. I plan on buying new rims and when I do I'm going to put some Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice tires on the stock rims for winter.....

My Cruiser was fine under 12 inches of snow here in MA. Didn't slip and slide in my driveway once!

I love working at home!

No Snow in CA, but no PT yet either...I'll let you all know how it handles the San Francisco FOG.

I too had no problems in that storm once I shoveled the snow drift the plow left in front of me ( 22"). I did however have a lot of snow in the lower grill.
