Fun in the snow but do yourself a favor and at least get a set of all-season tires if not winter tires.

i concur...I drove with my stock Advans last winter...I prayed to God each time I had to make a sudden stop...those things suck in the winter...finally got around to putting some all season Continentals on my car hopefully they are good enough to get me passed the snow season...

There's a big sticker on your door that says these tires are useless in the snow. Heed the warning.

Now that looks like fun. Did that in my 97 GSX AWD back in the day.

ws50 here. way overkill. this car is better in the snow than any of my jeeps. this topic has been done to death. if youre looking for more info, i suggest a search, espcially if you're planning on running advans, or any other dedicated summer tire in the snow. horrible idea, and there are a lot of threads to back that statement

Thanks,

I will try adding a few PSI.

initially I was a bit dissapointed, I even thought the Yokahama AVS winter tires they replaces, were better on dry roads, hopefully I can get a bit more out of the stones.

But I will go back to dedicated summer tires in the spring.
