NYT RYDR Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I must say the 22's on the Sport AWD with the Pirelli Scorpion tires got around town great even on unplowed streets and steep hills. I was a littlle sceptical, but now I am very impressed. Nice package Ford! For the owners in the snow belt, how did you get around?

blitz118 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) That's good to know that you didn't get stuck in the snow. You should have taken some pictures. Edited January 11, 2011 by blitz118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgieguy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No problems last week with 15" and i don't expect any tomorrow with the 8"- 15" we might get. Very happy with Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz118 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 It looks like the 22's can handle the snow fine and there might not be a need to buy a extra set of wheels with snow tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My AWD and 22's are getting the job done in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8vega Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I just bought a 2010 Sport AWD with 22 inch rims and scorpion tires a few weeks ago. We've had a winter storm with almost 40cm of snow, over a 3 day period, and I got around with no problems. I expected I'd have to buy snow tires, but not any more. They're really good!

Jamie Stross Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 i thought my rims were doing good in the snow, until i went on the highway and i thought i was going to blow out a tire at 100 kph because the vehicle was shaking so much, i had to pull over twice to get the snow out of the rims, and now my rims are chipping after a month of having the vehicle. its crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragster13 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 i thought my rims were doing good in the snow, until i went on the highway and i thought i was going to blow out a tire at 100 kph because the vehicle was shaking so much, i had to pull over twice to get the snow out of the rims, and now my rims are chipping after a month of having the vehicle. its crap And that is exactly why I got Snow tires and rims. I figure with the salt they use on the roads the rims would be screwed in one winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baum Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Mine handle good. this is the 2nd winter with them. i have to agree with the snow in the rims. you need to clean them (inside of the rim) or the car will shake/ vibrate like hell until you do. I was able to find a small snow brush that fits into the openints to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisha07.07.07 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have not experienced this build up of snow I keep reading about :unsure: So far my 22" are great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
