Ya I'm definitely gonna have to get on tryin to find some cheap tires some place.
I got like $400 for tires haha not sure what that'll buy me.
You guys think it'll be okay if I just put winter 16s on the front and leave the 18's on the back? haha.

ewww..half and half....$400 would get you Goodyear Nordic tires from crappy, they do work in the snow, not best for ice, but hey that's what you get for a cheap tire, blizzacks are also, what I think 50% off now..

acceleration isnt the main problem in winter and snow
its braking, good winter tires = better braking power and traction for turns and ****
good front tires and crappy back = good accleration and stuff for front wheels, but when u turn ur rear will most likely slide out

So.... what if I avoid as many turns as possible? haha
Work is only a 5 min drive away, if I can make it there and back, then I can just use my moms car the rest of the time (I sleep all day anyway).
