I am instructing, but you should sign up uninstruced if it means the difference between going and not going. We can give you plenty of pointers in the pits and you can do lead follow and still learn alot. As long as you have the basics down you'll be fine and I'm sure you'll learn a ton.
I just wish it was a yes or no so I didn't have to check my email everyday
^^ WTF is this about. LMAO.
Thanks for sending me the info on the parts. *See below. 
Yeah, that's decent. Only I'm tapped out at the moment.

A set I almost bought too 
Chu, i went with a more aggressive tread pattern, if you want something that compromises for a bit of handling, then this set is a good option.
From looking at the tread, these things aren't going anywhere in the snow.

Mark, I know you have a set. I though about you also. But Im debating snows or all seasons. Maintaining 3 sets of tires is not fun!
Pete, I don't remember you having specific snows for winter use, so I assumed they were all seasons! Sorry

Last year we worked at the house til 2am during those blizzards. Driving in 8" of snow, I don't think it would have gone nearly as well with an a/s tire. Still prob would have made it, but it would have been shady.
That and you need the extra grip for all those 2nd gear powerslides.

8 inch is nothing, especially with AWD. I drive through that in a FWD Camry! It's the 20inches that matters.
I'm just thinking how much snow we really get all winter long? BTW, I'm buying wheels and tires, not just tires! (Ideally 17x7, and 195)

the fwd corrolla fairs better in the snow that my evo with all seasons. they're absolutely horrible and i would recommend it. the car just goes sideways when starting out from a stop and that made me **** in my pant many times last winter driving in the unplowed side streets of south philly.
i have the extra wheels with a/s tires in the basement and i plan on using them simply due to the fact that i have a bit of grip once it is cold outside. i'd like to rock the new wheels and summer tires as long as i can and just be smart about when and where i drive this fall/winter but i know that is a risk.

I think your looking at it wrong. Last winter I procrastinated on getting snow tires. We got 10inches or so, and I took a 45 minute drive to my friend house with my toyo proxes4's. I made it there with out getting stuck, but it was an unnerving drive. I blew 1 stop sign because my car needed 50 ft to lose 10mph.
So i bought snows. Soon after we got over a foot. I brushed off the snow, backed out of the drive and drove several miles of almost unplowed roads without slipping once. Basically I could drive the way i normally do. If someone pulled out on me, it was not an issue, because the brakes worked really well.
Sure, you can be aggressive and go 80+ on the highway, but the real gain is a much safer trip.
They are also lots of fun
Playing around is 1 thing. But do you still maintain 60-70mph on the highway in the middle of a snow storm, even with snow tires? Maybe I'm the only ***** here that doesn't?

we have two way streets that should be one! (frequently you have to wait for the other car to pass before you can go forward) and snow can't go anywhere so it ends up staying where it's at!
