Most snow you've driven in

Just curious but what is the most snow anyone has driven their srt's in on the F-1 tires? That is without getting stuck and if you did get stuck how bad out was it?

I will prolly have a better answer to that one tomorrow since they are predicting 2 feet of snow here today and into tomorrow...
Up north of us in the Oswego area they got hit with 10 feet of snow across a three day period...I can't even picture that much snow and what it would look like!!
OOPS sorry I just noticed that was for srt people...!

Comparison for you

1) F1s - less than half an inch of snow = spin city

2) Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow with 19 inch wheels from tire rack...

Snow up past the front airdam and the car went right through it. The difference is so great it's hard to comprehend...
Also I am only running three snow tires right now (Tire rack sent me a defective wheel and is sending another to me now)

Cheers,
Chris

No problem at all. Here's my dilemma, company car so I'm not swapping tires/rims on the puppy so I just kinda gotta get a feel for how much snow srt folks have ventured out into successfully on the F-1's...

0.0"

Anything more than that is asking for serious trouble.
Pirelli snow/ice: As much as you can stand. The limiting factor is belly pan height, not tires.

(I'm owned my SRT-8 for 23 months now, and have driven in virtually all winter conditions now).

Yeah...if you're set against changing, shoulda got the RSAs...those are okay in a few inches with caution....waitaminit!!! Your company car is an SRT??? I'm in the wrong business...or not...mine weighs 68 tons, and goes 0-20 in 8 seconds flat (that's a crapload of power...0-60 in a 1-ton plasticmobile is nothing compared to 0-20 in a tank!)
