Hello all, I'm a car/truck (too many to count Hah!) guy going on 50 years now, dang I'm old.
What I did...
My daughter lives in a ski town and has to walk everywhere because her little Kia Soul doesn't cut it in the snow...so dad bought her a Christmas gift, 1988 Suzuki hardtop, with 90,000 original miles. Timing chain/belt has been done along with new clutch.
My question to y'all is what do I need to look out for on these cool little rigs. I'd like to put some aggressive tires on it but not sure of the size? What will fit on stock suspension? I have not seen it in person yet, I will be flying out to New Mexico and driving it 4 hours to her.
Thanks for any comments of input, good or bad.

These guys heard there is a girl out there and hid under the nearest rock.
Unfortunately there isn't much of a selection in this size range, but Hankook makes a decent M/T that should fit under the stock suspension. I believe the size is 215-75-15.

Come on guys.....
If I was going to set my daughter loos with a Samurai in the snow. I'd keep it bone stock.
Tires would be a BFG AT ( stock size ) . Or hankook ( probably spelled wrong ) studded snow tires.
The little rig will run in the snow like a chain saw.....
I'd also look into all of the heater tech you can find.
If ya need more help , PM me... I'll give you my phone # and we can talk.
