There's a reason winter tires are required BY LAW here in Quebec from Dec. 15th to March 15th.

AWD will help you accelerate in snow but it won't do squat to help you stop. Folks, if you're going to be driving in snow, get winter tires.

I know, I know. On unprepared, unplowed roads it isn't summer tire friendly though. It does get fairly icey due to the poor winter weather prevention system we have here...... Well, we don't actually have a winter weather prevention system.....

Um the sticker on the drive side door clearly states that the car is not meant to be driven in stock forum in the snow.

Yeah I got stuck driving to work in a snow storm on the highway. I thought I was going to get into a crash! Couldn't change lanes without sliding everywhere. Talk about scary

Lol on ice blindfolded because you have absolutely no control!

Bump for winter time here in North East!

I'm going on my third season using my Blizzak Tires.

Guys get a dedicated snow/ice tire for when it gets bad out.

How extreme summer tires make the EVO shine summer time, the same for extreme winter tires!

Also Fost had these Blizzak tires on the EVO -->


Have fun and be safe!!

How do so many people think "Extreme Summer Performance Tires" will be controllable in the snow :shrug:
