I don't know about anyone else but I love driving my EVO in the winter time. I put the car into winter mode this weekend. I reinstalled the stock turbo & FMIC, switched to the Blizzak WS-50 series snow tires and did the meguiers 3 step wax process.

bring it on mother nature!

 

I need to get me some WS-50s pronto!

 

they really are like no other snow tire I've used before, the EVO could have something to do with it too though.

 

put my snows on yesterday.

 

do you prefer the WS-50 over the LM-25, and why? just trying to decide between those two ...

 

Good info! Will need this information next year when I move to Reno and head to the slopes!

 

I wouldn't take jap metal into the salt

 

The WS-50 is awesome in the snow and ice, however they're terrible in the dry and wet.

Actually, my wife worked for National Steel. They sold giant rolls of metal for use in cars to Toyota and Honda in addition to the domestics. The Japanese manufacturers insisted on higher quality and fewer defects in the steel. Sometimes, a roll made for the Japanese brands didn't pass muster, so instead, it got sold to the domestics who didn't care nearly as much!

 

I def. need to go pick up some winter tires...and soon...Chicago winter = t3h suck!

 

All seasons FTL Maybe next year...

 

not true, they are still awesome in the wet and the dry. They just don't corner like the stock advans do.

as an example of there dry weather performance I was just at the track on Friday with my WS-50's pulling low-mid 1.7 60's, same times I get with the advans.

 

I would'nt have it any other way then driving the EVO in the winter VT weekend ski trips in the EVO FTW

The car is great in the snow one of the main reasons I bought the car

 

Yah same here, i got winter tires on 2 weeks ago, also thinking to make custom mud flaps, just for the winter time. IAM ReADY!

 

there is an idea... along with some monster mats
