by smashing into you guys i hope you mean throwing a little slush and creating some fun to exit streets of woodfield, instead of actually "smashing into you guys." haha

Yeah I think they are LM-22's? I was kinda stuck between those and the WS-50's, but I figured I won't be doing any sort of high-performance driving with any winter tires, so I went with the ws studless.

We got about 10" in Crystal Lake...although I think it was more like a foot.

I'm a Firefighter and rolled into work early, to find an empty apron in front of the apparatus. Well, I put on about a 10 minute drifting show for the guys. It was the most fun I've had with my Evo to date. Good times! The salt sucks, but what are you going to do? I keep it as clean as possible.

Whoever doesn't take their Evo out in the snow (with the proper tires, of course)doesn't know what they're missing! This is what the Evo was made for!

Yeah me too, but I had the WS before on my old car and thought I'll try these since they offer the size. I think it's a bit better feel when there's no snow but the WS will offer more traction bite.
