Question Evo in Snow
How well does the Evo's snow setting work? Will it be competent in snow right off the lot or would the tires need replacing?

I cannot tell you what difference the ACD settings actually make in snow (it doesnt snow here) but I can tell you that you need to get snow tires for sure, just like any other car.

Yeah, I was wondering about the Evo VII's tires in the snow too. I'll probably getting a winter beater anyways though.

I had very limited snow & ice experience with my 6 in the UK. As the fast road tires are a very soft compound, they worked pretty well on ice, but snow was a different thing. But it was fun to have little 4-wheel drifts at slow speed in a snowy car park. Definetely get winter tires.

I've heard from an engineer that the E7 works best on snow setting on tarmac.

In Best Motoring, April 2001, they tested the Evo VII and got the best acceleration runs with the ACD set to snow.
