I've been running 16" Xi3's on Assetto Gara rims the past couple winters. No issue at all traction wise (some of the best winter tires I've ever owned), and it still goes sideways when I want it to...

The only time I felt uncomfortable was when I did a <30km/h four wheel drift into the other lane at the bottom of Smokey. It was December and there was a stupid thick layer of road salt down.

The only way I've found is to do the software mod and set the proper bit via the hex editor to disable the nag screen completely.

I've read about it here once before, and under similar circumstances if I recall correctly. I believe it was a case of too much water and the drain was unable to keep up.
