No **** the Advans suck.... Even Mitsu says change them in cold weather conditions... Where have you been all these months?? Dude no offence but you had money to flat bed your car home but not enough to mount and balance your tires?? The hook up charge of a towing service is like $50-$80 alone plus milage... It cost me $75 to get mt conti's mounted and balanced, and that's from a shop that is a rip off but they do decent work..

i had no traction...my tires are bald due to bad alignment when i hit a pothole the size of a crater from the moon...and i also wanted to play it safe.... btw...i didnt pay for the tow truck/flatbed since my uncle owns his company

my evo was great in the snow...of course i did not have the advans on

there is this HUGE hill near my house and there was about 6 cars stuck, including 1 truck, 2 hooked up gti's, and some other cars.

i trucked right up that hill.

FYI..i also went toolin around in my back yard and the car was great.

Yellow Fever, come on man you should have left your car where it was. Dont take any chances. I left mine in the garage and used my uncles car. As a matter of fact instead of changing the tires I think I will get a hoopty to drive around in the snow.

see nice comments like this i accept ...especially from my evo-ny family ...not like that tpm17 person (that is how flame starts)....anyways I had to get to work in the morning (which work is like 7 minutes from my house) and I left before it got worse ...thats a good idea wrx killa, getting a hoop rider for the winter..... too bad I'm broke as of now
