I had a blast last winter and we had a blast of a winter. I put Blizzaks on and had a great time.

Come on. Just because its winter doesn't mean you have to have whimpy little sunk in wheels and Oreo width tires!

Rota Torque 9.5 et20 Dunlop Wintersport 3D 265 35 18. Monster trucking until I can get my Spec-R's installed.

I just can't imagine storing this thing for the winter like its a 911. If mine gets war wounds so be it.

from what I've read your not going anywhere in the snow on stock tires, and it's dangerous

I second this. Winters are best - all-seasons will do - stock or summer performance are dangerous. I know it can be a lot of money to put down for a second set of tires, but it's well worth it.

All seasons aren't that great IMO. I've run Blizzaks on my sti and my evo and couldn't be happier. The roads are snowy or icy 7 months out of the year here and they are wonderful.

Some touchless car washes have an underbody sprayer. That is what I would do. They don't salt the roads here in Alaska, so I am lucky.

Wow! What an advertisement for Bridgestone. They should call you and put in a commercial.

I'm working on a tool for that. I'm sick of my cars rusting out from under me. Maybe soon I'll become an evom vendor and you can order one from me.



Here is a little video clip.

Let me know what you think. I'm hoping to bring to the market soon and I'm looking for feedback.

LOL sorry didn't mean to sound that way... Just trying to give good advice since I see people sliding all over the road with their all-season tires.

HA HA! I didn't mean you were trying to put in a shameless plug for a company. It's just quite a testimony for for winter tire to be recommended by someone from ALASKA. I use the same tire and and I'm very happy with it too.
