I've always wanted to take my Evo to the snow but I don't get much snow here. This year I'll be taking her to the snow tho. My question is anything special I should do in preparation? I have decent tires on there. 90% tread left. Eagle Gt all season. Snow tires really recommended or will I be ok with these. Thanks. Also if you have pics of you and your Evo playing in the snow don't be shy share them. I will once I go. Lol. Cheers.

 

All seasons = no seasons, but if it's only a one-time trip you'll be taking you probably won't want to buy winter tires just for the occasion.

Regarding prep, not really that I can think of. Afterwards you may want to rinse off the underbody as best you can with a pressure washer for instance to get rid of the snow and any salt/abrasives that may be used on the roads where you'll have traveled.

Couple pics of mine playing in the snow:

Long driveway to my uncle's cottage


Track that opened up during the winter for lapping on snow/ice.

 

What track is that that's open in the winter? I see you're from Canada. I've been to Mosport on my motorcycle and dying to try Calabogie just not a fan of the noise restrictions.

 

clean your wheels out before you get back up to highway speeds, otherwise it'll wobble worse than a terrible wheel balancing

 

The track in the pic is ICAR in Mirabel, Quebec.

Haven't been to mosport but I've gone to Calabogie twice and I love the track.

 

My advice is dont be too confident. These cars are GREAT in the snow and a blast to drive, just dont push it too much.

Speaking from experience lol

 

Make sure you have correct spacers or no spacers(https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...roper-way.html)

 

I've got studded 205 50 17s for winter.. They're the cats ***

I agree all seasons are 3 seasons and shouldn't be taken as a snow or Ice tire ..

 

On stock 8" wheels? Trying to figure out how narrow I can go on my next set on winter tires

 

On enkies yup

might be 215, I can snap a picture were gettin blasted right now in northern New York.

They're a bit tall but not terrible and super fun out on the st Lawrence and Lake Ontario .

 

Side profile haven't mounted them this season yet

 

This

and this.

One time I forgot to spray all of the packed-in snow out of my wheels and it froze overnight. You don't want that to happen unless you like chiseling ice, haha. Then you can spray off the underside at the same time

I wouldn't bother with snow tires if it's just for one trip. Just be careful. Find a parking lot or somewhere to mess around to get a feel for how the car reacts.

 

Also known as the only time Hellaflush has been acceptable.

 

Its an absolute blast, even better with winter tires! These are pictures of the snow storm from last weekend.

 

I would, but she's tucked away for the winter season in the garage and under a car cover.. lol.! =X
