Snow packed wheels

Hey, i was playing around with my car in a parking lot today while it was snowing and my wheels wound up getting packed with snow. Can anything get damaged as a result of this?

in rare case with lots of snow and if you still have your advans on, you will be stuffing lots of snow around the wheel. It will eventually turn into ice and may cause your power steering into toast. It happen to last year with my other EVO. I brought to dealer got it under warranty. Just make sure you have at least all season tires not your ADVANS or other summer tires.

Be really careful if your driving with stock tires!
