Aluminum hood and front fenders for the evos are expensive...hopefully your insurance wont sky rocket.....it had to be the cold weather...the advans are summer tires and can only handle temps above 60 degrees....the car will break loose since the tires are too cold to expand and grip the road in 40 degree weather. After you get your car fixed...get to a local tire dealer and get some blizzaks or somethin for the winter.

+1 for corner workers. I don't push the limit on the street anymore because there could be an oil slick on the road just like you said... the track is the only place to really explore the cornering potential of a car like an Evo.

The cold probably had something to do with it. Advans are more sensitive to temperature than an ordinary street tire.
