I was looking at some ziptie things to put on the tires, similar idea to chains, one time use but it seemed really ghetto... I guess new tires it is!

FRS SNOW

i feel you fam, my old car was a 97 VR-4 AWD. BEAST.

ALL you need are some GOOD BLISTEKS snow tires, thats what I run right now for the past 2 years. Im stationed in MT where IT SNOWS HEAVY & i drive PERFECTLY fine with them anywhere. Haven't gotten stuck once ever, hill, ice, you name it. Best investment ever!

Um they all come with both AT and MT in the manual. Unless by auto you mean you have one that pops out and at the right page whenever you need to know something. If that is the case I want one too.

...aren't they the same manual, just with certain pages to refer to for certain configurations (ie: auto v. manual)? That's what I've seen on pretty much all car manuals, and it's how my BRZ's is.
