snow run with advans, dont do it!!!
Mitsu's an idiot for putting that tire on a car in the north. They should realize that they are part of the reason why our insurance is so high because id definitely say that a lot of the accidents with Evos are from people losing control of them in the rain and especially in the snow/ice. Granted, a lot of them are probably not perfectly either, but im sure that a good pair of all seasons stock in the north would be worth it... Then we'd all get summer tires eventually and realize the difference

..no haha. The stock advans are amazing.
I equate the Advans in snow to trying to run up a ski slope in dress shoes.(but worse!!) Very scary experience to get caught in snow with the Advans. Definately woth the money to throw on all-seasons!!
Tirerack won't even rate them for winter

Honestly, its mentalities like this that make me wonder how Mitsu or any other auto company can successfully sell high performance cars in the US. I hate when people rather place the blame on someone else rather than being honest and taking the blame they deserve.
And in regards to your claim of insurance being high because of the tires, thats a no. Its high because the car ends up in the hands of young drivers, and when wrecked they are often complete write-offs.
Isn't there a big **** warning when you buy the car about never to use summer tires in winter conditions? 
I personally do not understand how someone can buy a car like this and not learn simple things like this in advance.

Yeah, There's a sticker on the driver's side door!!
yea... but still he didn't think it was going to snow... so he figured it was all good... then when he realized what happened he started going back home... and he ended up sliding... i mean it happens... just got to be more careful later on down teh road...
Me and a few local evo guys just drove up north MI to see the snow drift yesterday and their was about 4+ inches on the pavement and with all seasons we had a blast! Get some............

Shiz happens. You live you learn. Someone did it last year with my Advans too. Drove a bit more cautiously this year when it snowed and did just fine. I don't have another car I can pull out of the garage for when it snows like other people around here.
i have been in that area many times. used to work at mountain high. and drove from palmdale up there all winter. the weather changes drastically very quickly and randomly. been caught up there a few times in my 65 mustang. not very fun. i know of many people dying up there from crazy weather and sliding off the mountain. good thing u and more importantly your evo is ok.
