My daughter wanted pictures of her Charger in the snow - we could only get so far out of the garage on the 315's... For some reason they arent the best snow tires - especially when you have about 8" of fresh snow:

it was a struggle getting momentum to get back up the driveway, but it made for some good pics (lol).
(The Hellcat stayed in the garage - nice and dry)

Were they at least All-season tires?

If I tried that with either of my Summer tires I'd still be there.

Nitto Invo's...
I don't think I can call them all season's... lol
(Took about 5 attempts to get enough momentum after shoveling the driveway to get it back in the garage)

Looking at that grade in the last picture I'm impressed.

I had yokohama Ice guard winter tires 275/40 on 9" replica rims) on my 18 Challenger. Did Extremely well in the snow through 2 winters but it was far easier with an M6 than it would have been with an A8.

My Charger Hellcat on 275 snow tires went through several blizzards and didn't flinch... very impressed. I also had 300lbs of sand in the trunk, and recovery points front and rear just in case ;)

My Daytona sucked ass with the same winter tires. We had more ice then snow that year though. My fox body Mustangs were the shit in the snow!
