best way to get out of snow is to rock back and forth. never gun it to try to get out of snow you just burry yourself deeper. and as said before not lsd is why that happened. also i hope you arent still on the advans, i cant even begin to imagine how those would handle 8inches of snow

Please put on at least all-season tires. I can't stand to see another "I wrecked my Evo" thread!

Why would anyone think a Summer High Performance tire would be ok in the snow. I am simply amazed

We already answered this, but to clarify - there is no 03/04 MR or 03 RS.

i don't exactly have enough money to get new tires...even though its around 400-800 dollars...im pretty broke at the moment..and i was also thinking getting new rims to go with new all season tires...

i rarely drive in winter with advan and i know its bad....but its my only ride..but i don't drive it unless its nessary during winter...careful driving..i think i'll live
