I'll be driving mine for the winter, putting on Continental DWS tires. But I also have a roommate with a truck that works at the same place I do so we carpool, any heavy snow and he can drive

I drive mine in the winter, but I live in Texas, so that's cheating .

I drive mine in the winter with Blizzaks, it a dream!! I get funny looks from my friends when I tell them with snow tires its like driving on rails. I am stock height and i have no issues. We had it pretty bad last year, but no problems, just have to watch out on the braking, of course. Very little wheelspin on takeoff and great directional control.

Drove mine last winter and didn't have any real problems. I'm currently shopping for a winter beater for the real bad days, though.

One reason I bought the Evo was to drive in the winter. It's so much fun, I would feel like Im committing an injustice leaving it in the garage.

If I was gonna store my car in the winter, I would have kept my M3 or bought another RWD sports car.

Dunlop WinterSport 3D's FTW!
