Taking the evo out in the snow is easily some of the best fun I've had in awhile. It is amazing in the snow, so don't be afraid at all to get out into the snow. Just take it easy until you get a little practice driving in the snow.

 

Fling by SUV's while driving to a ski resort in a foot of snow is fun.

 

Well it has yet to snow here, but this last weekend a went and found some snow. HOLY CRAP this car continue's to amaze me. The roads were completly ice and snow packed but that didnt matter. what a blast to drive, the way there i was ripping it up on the canyon roads and a little bit later went tearing through the snow. EVO'S rule

 

From SoCal to D-town......huge difference. I lived near LA for about 2 years and I grew up in Colorado Springs (about 45minutes from Denver) The weather has been real strange in CO the past few years. Doesn't snow like it used to.

 

Growing up on the NY/CT border, I basically learned to drive in the snow, so I've always had fun in AWD cars but I put Dunlop Winter Sport M3s on my evo last year (my first winter with her) and it was great. So much control with the setup that I spun my car 180 degrees in the middle of a busy intersection covered in snow (carefully but still not a good idea) with the throttle because I needed to turn around. That's how confident the evo truly is when equipped with the proper tires for the season. As long as you anticipate your movements, the car reacts very similar to high speed dry driving...No problems at all aside from my winter wheels being too open and allowing snow/ice to collect on the inside and throw the whole balance off...what fun that is in 0 degree weather.

 

i first moved out here in 1999 so i missed all that weather colorado is known for. but ive heard some pretty crazy stories about how bad the weather used to be. its much milder now.

 

Couple things to know about the snow. First, stay off the turbo when getting rolling you will spin like crazy and if it is an incline spinning will ice up under the tires. Second if you get stuck don't spin and spin trying to get out you will heat up the acd. Lastly I scratched the crap out of the bottom sides of my car going through hardened snow, remember the car is fairly low to the ground and you will tear up your front end hitting frozen snow and scratch the sides, most common when you try to go through a cross street where a snow plow has left a burm. So like most owners I think the evo works well in the snow with snow tires. Lastly remember trying to go through snow that is to deep will get your high centered and your going to be pissed on those days drive the truck.

 

get snow tires, f all seasons. trust me get snow tires.

 

well ryno, you got your wish for some snow! did you drive at all last night or this morning?

i got to drive home last night at midnight and there were quite a few side streets that hadn't been plowed yet...i had a great time testing out the pirelli p zeros i just bought last week. they're so great...i can't wait till it really snows!

 

NOOOO Need to spend money on snow tires. All season work well enough.

 

Evo + Pirelli Snowsports VS Snow = Evo 1 snow 0

Living in cleveland I went with snow tires and there's no looking back as far as handling in the snow.

 

we didnt get any of it up here. the news said snow was comming so i went to bed thinking I'd wake up to snow but no luck, we've had all the makings for it though (windy and cold). i think it went right around us.

 

As most have said b4, at a minimum once you have all seasons u are fine with the snow....

BUT...

when it comes to ice it doesn't matter what you are driving unless you have studded tires. Those days I stay home or drive VERY carefully.

 

im guessing that u live in fort collins like me lol.....yeah i was all excited cuz i love to drive my jeep in the snow and no such luck when i woke up.......when did u move up here and what color is ur evo? have u ever been on college?

 

Im actually in greeley (dont laugh) I've been here since june, its electric blue and i've only made it out to college a couple times, but my mom has a coffee shop in fort collins so I'm there quite often. what color is yours?
