Heres an example of one in a spray can:

With a set if michy ap4 I was able to climb forest roads so steep that I got scared and reversed down.
Only cuz I was a puss and didn't want to come down something so steep with my front end looking down on it

Lmao, sounds rough. Yeah I was kind of wondering if people overhyped the evo capabilities in the snow but seems it's very competent.

I have an 03 Evo 8, with General Arctic Altimax tires, and this setup has been absolutely amazing on this car. I have no problems in snow whatsoever. And I'm not talking a couple inches of snow, I'm talking like a foot of snow, it still has no issues powering through it. Its basically like driving a 4wd truck in the snow, but a lot more fun haha. I am pretty used to snow though as I'm in Michigan (and grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan), but nonetheless, with snow tires, these things are unstoppable.

You all are aware that "unstoppable" isn't the best hyperbole to use to claim that your car handles well on snow, yes?
