    I live in Lake Tahoe (avg. snow fall 400+ inches). My FF came with Novatec springs (which I love in non-snow conditions). I have the original springs. My shop is recommending keeping the Novatec springs but putting on winter tires with a higher profile. Thoughts on this? Could I also install winter rims that raise the height of the car during snowy months? The car will not be used when there is a blizzard, but one of the key reasons I bought it was to have fun in during the 6 months of the year when there is snow on the ground. Any thoughts and/or experiences?

    Thanks as always.

    If you are not going to drive in a bizzard, I wouldn't worry about a slight increase in height. Not to mention at these sizes there is not really an option for sizes. I have 245/35/20 and 295/35/20 for my Michelin PS4 and the Michelin Alpins are 235/35/20 and 285/35/20.

    A second set of wheels is a good idea. I bought a second OEM set on eBay cheap. It makes the change over much easier. Plus if they spread salt like they do around here, it will keep your summer wheels looking better.
