I also had no problem with the snow last week with fairly new stock tires. In fact I was pleasantly surprised given all the negative feedback about the stock goodyears. It probably has to do with them being so new - lots of tread left. The Ralliart in general performed pretty well in snow - better than my 02 accord did without a doubt. No match for my Subaru but of course I didn't expect it to. The ABS are rather harsh when they kick in but they seem to work well.

 

Evos have a huge problem in the snow if they get caught in it with the stock Advans still on.

 

evidently, evo drivers in the winter are late to work, dinner, and have a diminishing social life in winter... when they have good all season/winter tires on. studies show that the evo drivers spend way too much time drifting around corners, parking lots, and enjoying their awd turbo cars man this winter is going to be fun with awd

 

The secret with snow with ANY car is to use REAL snow tires - second winter with the RA for me and with 15" Michelin X-Ice tires ( on steelies) on there, no problems at all whatsovever.
