Mine will also get some winter use. If you drive in any snow I recommend winter tires.

I will be driving it all year as well. Going to buy a seperate set of wheels and good winter tires and just swap them easily. May even consider studs as our winters are harsh here.

I will be. I also live in New England. Do not put all seasons on for winter. It will be a disaster.

My FRS is a summer car, destined for the garage during the snowy months. In the winter I drive my Tundra.

Yep, mine is my daily driver. I am planning on getting winter tires and hoping for the best. Our last winter was pretty tame so I suspect this winter is going to be ferocious. Good luck to all of us in New England.

Last winter was a joke. I hope this winter will be the same, so that way I can look at all my friends who told me "New England winters are horrible!" and be like "You lied, it ain't s**t out here!!!"
In all seriousness, I had Michelin Pilot PA3s on my STi and it worked wonders. Not sure how it'll be in a RWD car, but probably going to get the same tires again (except in 17s now) |
