Yes but why drive it when I have other vehicles to drive in the snow that are designed to handle the snow not just retrofitted to cope with it.
Not to mention in mn they spread road salt like you spread salt on your popcorn. Why would I want to subject the car to that if I dont have to.

The car is super easy to correct one youre sliding, in the snow anything can happen tho. Just play it safe

This car sucks in the snow without PROPER WINTER TIRES.

DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ON SUMMER TIRES during winter especially during snow storms!!!!

Get some Blizzaks, drive smart, and this car is a fckn truck in the snow.

Depending on where he is salt is gonna be a big factor... Also you're assuming everyone is stock or has the same priorities as you do. Hell I'd still be doing donuts trying to get out of my street if I'd be driving it during winter.

This is also the case. When you have lowered the car even if you have snow tires I would go nowhere in anything more then 2 inches of snow just do to the fact I would be pushing a mountain.

Wait, you really don't drive it in the snow? I thought you were being sarcastic.

I drive it in all depths and do indeed plow snow! It shoots out the sides pretty nice though so you don't really have to push a mountain. Nothing like having 3 inches of clearance and being the first person down the road after14 inches of snow.

Hell Fuman has issues in the rain I think snow is right out of the question.

Unless you have bags of sand in the trunk right?

Just to add. I run blizzaks. And they get me through the deepest snow with ease. Even starting and stopping on a snowy hill is not an issue. I had Michelin x-ice 2 on a different car. And they were awesome as well. I'd say the blizzaks are quieter though.

I put 16" blizzak WS 80 tires on steel rims. With 16" tires you can have more sidewall which gives a bit more clearance as well as a better ride. I actually like the them so much I am thinking about going to them for summer on lightweight wheels once the stock tires need to be replaced.
I like the Blizzaks but have X-Ice Michelins on a WRX and prefer them as far as handling. Both will get the job done though.
