Everyone saying not to put weight in the rear.... 40 lbs seriously does not make THAT much of a difference and the tube of sand can help immensely if you get stuck. These aren't trucks, you dont need to drop 100+ lbs in the bed.

As far as tires.... yeah. Buy them. Stock non ts wheels are basically given away on this forum or find some forester steelies. You can buy some older winter tires on Ebay or find someone dropping a winter setup on here.... anything but the stockers in your situation and with the ts.

Keep us apprised of your situation and part out threads. At least this winter doesn't seem like it will be too bad for the midwest, right?
