I don't think I've ever had that much fun in a car in my life. I spent an hour tearing up the streets on Sunday. There is a Circut City near my place that recently repaved their parking lot and then went out of business. I probably spent 15 minutes there doing dounuts Pulling on to the road is insane. You turn right, hit the gas, and take off with the tail end wagging back and forth. I did that right past a parked cop, but what could he do? He was parked b/c his crown vic sucks in the snow.

HTR SumiCheapo tires kick *** for the price.

Any good places in STL to get some all seasons? I've been looking locally and have checked around, but no one has anything in stock. Where did you guys get your tires from? I gotta take care of this fast. Thanks
Chris

Man.. I read the thread title and thought someone was getting a cool sound system for their car. Guess that's what happens when a native Texan reads midwest threads.

So I just got home from a friends house. It has been snowing pretty hard for about 3 or 4 hours and that is on top of the ice we already had. None of the roads were cleared but the Evo dominated all the way home!! This car is so easy to correct it isn't funny. As long as the roads are empty like they were tonight, I love the snow!

Finally got my all seasons put on. Luckily the ice storm is already over. Indecision may or may not be my biggest problem. This time it was. Oh well, now i'm prepared for the next one. From waht I can tell from the short drive from the tire store to my office, the tires love the slush. I put on a set of Toyo Proxes 4, in the stock fitment. Good looking tire. Have to see how it performs when dry. And it is definitely much quieter than the Advans.
