Try a radial instead of 6.95x14 crossplys it worked for me on the big block TA when i went from 5.20x12 crossplies to 155x12 radials.
Wont be original but at least you wont slip and slide so much and L34,s and A9X,s came with radials as standard.Good luck with the trip and maybe just use snow chains on front to stop that sliding on the steer.

Be sure to check out the Automobile museum in Launceston.. some nice cars there!! :) The weather at the moment.. well, the days are starting to get warmer!! Around 15 degrees ;) We have been getting some crazy weather in recent weeks (last weekend was crazy).. but this weekend just gone was great :) So.. be prepared for 4 seasons in the one day - very common down here!!

You guys will love it as we did it in Oct/Nov 2009 with 9 Torana's from NSW & would do it again with a blink of an eye.
