When we did our first four winters, back on the Mtn in NC, there
were times early/late in season that we would "try" the run up or
down, with oem Micheys on 18s. It was a decided white knuckle
trip that was only successful due to the knowledge of our 4 mile
road, luck and willingness to "slud" the car around. With the usual
switch to our "winter set" of 17" wheels and dedicated Mich Alpins,
we were in control, and made it down & back up nearly effortlessly,
even on days when neighbors with other 4WD vehicles didn't even try.
It was literally night & day for us in our local conditions, with the snow
set vs. the "all weather" summer set.

All academic, as we are here in sunny SW FLA for the winters, now.
