how much?

 

This dude is nuts, try driving with your advans in Alaska right now, you wont get far that’s for shore. I got some FUZION HRI's not to bad.

 

Also, the Advans behave worse as the temperature drops lower... passing 20 degrees the tread blocks become harder than hockey pucks. Save your stockers for all the other seasons and run a snow tire for winter. I use the Pilot Alpines; they are great, but not the cheapest.

 

This is a pretty immature and ignorant post, I would recommend that nobody actually lessons to this guy. Although the EVO is one of the best handling cars on the planet with the wrong equipment it is just as dangerous any other vehicle. PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T LESSON TO THIS GUY!!!!! High performance summer tires are for the Summer climate and temperatures not winter.

You mean listen...

Advans in snow are like the Korean Death Squad, you're bound to die anyways...

 

...Don't worry about him, he'll changed his tune when he hits his first victim, I don't wish him any bad luck, but what are you suppose to do when a person is being so hard-headed? One day I arrived at work, it was clear as whistle. By the time I got off, we had 2 to 3inches of snow on the ground. I had to let out maybe 10lbs. of air out of all tires so that I could get some kinda grip. And that didn't help any. It was fine for 1 to 3 MPH. Good Luck Guy
Get some Blizzakks. You'll never look back.

 

you must not be telling us the truth, I bought my car in January 05, about a few weeks later it snowed and I figured hey this car is AWD no big deal.
but as soon as I took off in snow mode and tried to make a left the car went sideways and it was only 1/2" of snow with almost brand new advans.
so I must say from my experience this thread is bull.

 

Considering how Mitsubishi put a disclaimer on the driver's side door on 05 Evos basically saying, "Hey as*hole, don't bother using these tires in the winter or you're putting your car, life, and others' lives in danger." I would say it's not a good idea.

 

He probably wasn't in snow.. salted road maybe.

 

(applies to on topic) I wouldn't get so confident, I've done the same mistake before driving in the snow, I learned the hard way, I drove slower than the speed limit, barely tapped the brake around a corner and slid 20 feet towards a curb and this was at 10 mph, the cost of damage was a lip, rim and bent strut, with the way you talk I'm sure your damage would cost you more

 

Sorry, should of clarified, not the stockers. They were the Yokohoma Avid W4S's.

 

I'll take 600 Shipped. Just let me know SuPeRNeT. Shoot me a pm

 

haha yes he will

 

I live close to where the OP lives and I got stuck in the same snowy weather with my Advans too. My snow wheels/tires were in storage and it's my fault for not watchin the weather predictions. I had no problem this time because the snow was very wet and slushy. You just gotta drive real slow and stay the f*&% out of boost. Especially when you'r not on level roads because the car's enertia (even at 5-10 mph) is more than the grip of the advans can handle.

I still had more traction than RWD cars because as I came to the bottom of a hill, there were a couple of rwd cars spinning tires and I went right around them up a fully snow covered hill with my advans on. Even though I made it to work and back just fine, I am still going to get my winter set out just for peace of mind and that extra margin of safety.

 

I drove my evo in the winter when i bought it last winter, it wasnt that bad, but i wouldn't risk driving on those tires. it was about 2" of snow and the car was sliding a little bit when cornering.
Off topic, which tires and wheel setups do you guys have for winter, any recommendations? im thinking about blizzaks but dont know which wheels to pick that are good for winter.

thanks
