Can a Honda Fit be mofified to make it perform better in the snow?

I like my Honda Fit now that it is summer; but I dread the winter. Last winter I repeatedly got stuck in the snow; the wheels are too small and it is too low to the ground. I actually had to get towed one snowy night. can anything be done to help; like snow tires or another modification? I have had 3 Civics and an Accord and never had the trouble in the snow that the Fit has had.Can a Honda Fit be mofified to make it perform better in the snow?Studs don't help with snow, they are for ice. You may have touring tyres on your Fit, which are useless in snow. At the minimum, you need an all-season tyre with a HIGH snow rating, which can only be attained if your tread has good cleats on the outside edges of the tread. All-season tyres are not all equal, some are actually very poor in winter, no matter what the advertising says.

I suggest you buy actual winter tyres for that vehicle, tyres that go on just before the snow comes, and are taken off in the spring. The difference is amazing, they grip snow better, but, even better, they grip ice better because of the tread that doesn't harden at low temperatures.



NEVER deflate the tyres at all, unless you are actually stuck. It is a trick to use to get moving only when stuck, not while actually driving, whether or not the roads are clear. In 43 years of driving, well over 1 1/2 million miles, living in Edmonton, Saskatoon, and rural Manitoba, all snow belt areas, I have never once had to resort to deflating tyres.Can a Honda Fit be mofified to make it perform better in the snow?you can try snow tires, but also deflate the tires a bit to increase contact patch. Don't forget to properly inflate them when the clear the roads.

you can get snow tires with studs...(see www.tirerack.com)

it might not have enough weight to help propel the car in the snow, no matter what the tires are like...
