I have an 06 vibe, I have been very very happy with it over the years and I am an original owner. I have almost nothing but great things to say about my Vibe.
But ... Every Winter my performance on the snow and ice is beyond terrible. I have tried Blizaks, studded tires, all weather tires all kinds of tires $$$ and there doesn't seem to be anything that gives a significant improvement. I end up going 30-40 miles an hour on the highway or the vibe starts to swerve and swivel. I am now almost completely convinced this is the car and not the tires.
1st question, are there any tires that people have had great experience with on snow and ice specifically in Alaska
2nd question, could this possibly be a car issue, something like traction control or something like that? Maybe a sensor is muddy and is not tracking the tires correctly. I do know that I have a air pressure sensor that is badd and has almost always been badd that I cannot figure out how to Find or fix.
This is starting to become a real safety issue as I am letting my wife drive the car and I would really like to get this corrected. Any help at all would be great, as my mechanic cannot seem to find anything wrong
