Hey guys I just wanted to say it finally snowed here in Anchorage, Alaska, where the snow actually stuck to the ground. Anyways I switched the ACD to SNOW and I had a BLAST driving the Evo IX in the snow.

I dont know it just handles so much better than my WRX...I just feel so much more in control with this car in the snow. E-braking and drifting is awesomely fun...haha...once you hit the gas again the car straightens out in the snow...Anyways just me ranting off on how much fun I had today...

Plus it didnt' snow that much on the roads, can't wait for the inches...haha!

 

i hope you had snow tires on...

 

isnt that the truth

 

put a set of b-stone blizzaks on it and youll pray for it to snow..

 

Yeah......were you on stock tires?

 

Oh come on guys...Bridgeston Blizzaks WS-50s...dedicated snow tire for Alaskan winters

The best tires I hear you can get for the Evo, they were pretty spendy I ordered from tirerack, but I wanted the ultimate tire fo the ultimate car!

Anyways...EVO IX + Blizzaks + Snow = HECKA FUN

 

If anyone cares about what I have to say, well i will say this....

when it starts to snow up here I'm gonna put my 05 EVO away for the winter and use the beater car instead.

 

just be careful out there and dont do anything that you'll regret....

 

To each his own...but I live in Alaska that's why I bought an AWD car...or else I would have bought a Supra for summer and beater for winter...but winter in Alaska is about 7 months...so I'll stick with the Evo year long!

Oh and I will be careful nothing too crazy and if so clear open lots/roads! HAHA!

 

OMG 7 months of winter, i would be in heavan with the Evo!!!

 

stock tires?

 

The Blizzak REVO 1 is the new top of the line from Bridgeston for people living in ice and snow areas. Basicly the same exact tire as the WS-50, but it has plastic studs in it for better ice traction. Check it out at the tire rack web site

I have WS-50's on my 05 EVO (left over from my 03 EVO) but for my wifes 05 WRX wagon I went with the REVO 1's.

Thanks for the suggestion Keith, but I'll stick with these for now.

You know what was funny, is I was driving with the ACD set to Tarmac and I hit the breaks and started to slip a little...then my friend was like try switching it to SNOW...haha...man I would have eventually figured it out myself

Like I said only about 500+miles, I'll get it down!

 

post pics!!!! enjoy all the snow the last couple of days??

 

I am confused as to how changing the ACD helped your braking.
