Any of you use the Spike-Spiders? I have a set I got off e-bay several yrs ago.
I have used them a couple times going over hwy 80 to Reno. a real snap to install, about a minute per side. and off you go.
They are a little pricy new. but at least I don`t have to crawl under the car to install cables or chains, have icy water dripping on me, or having the rooster tail from a big rig front tires drown me with slush.
They do take up more room in the trunk compared to chains or cables.
there is a down side to everything.
Iam also running 205-70-14. car handles better than the 195`s. tires turn
2% slower, but don`t realy notice any difference in milage. I have the
2:88 diff with the 4-spd manual. might be too slow on the take off for
most here, but does ok for me. Don`t want anything faster than I can think
.
In town is mostly 3rd gear, and out on the highway I grab 4th at 50 or better. usually 29 to 31mpg on the hwy.
