- I have a Escort GT with a set of Michelin HGT 195/60 in the front
- and Cooper 1000 195/60 in the back. Although both sets have a relatively
- heavy tread pattern and are rated all season, I was thinking of getting
- a tire chains, until I read the owners manual that said that chains
- should not be used on 195/60.
-
- 1. No reason was given, does anyone know why?
- 2. What tire pressure is best for driving in snow?
- When driving on sand I usually bleed tire pressure so as to increase
- the surface area, does the opposite hold true for snow?
- 3. What is the correct tire pressure for this car? Both tires
- recommend a max of 35 psi and the manual refers me to the door
- post sticker (non-existent when I bought the car).
