stock tires?

Yup. Like I expected, the lightweight and balance of this car with snow tires will do fine in the snow.

jmaryt · 11-11-2012, 04:06 AM

perhaps to a point!.i would still be hesitant in deep snow,especially the heavy, wet variety
won't matter to me,i don't expect to be out in it anyway! don't have to be,won't be! "too light!"
screw that! don't feel like testing the theory either! car ain't no snowmobile! ehe! he! he!

Slapped on these bad boys for the winter. Blizzaks and sport edition rims. Red mud flaps as well. Not sure how I feel about them though.

jmaryt · 11-11-2012, 10:08 PM

I definitely like them for a Winter look, makes the car look badass in the winter with winter tires on it. Like an ice/snow racing machine. I would however take them off in the summer as they really have no place on a Summer Sports car with street tires unless you plan to do Rally-X.

Millions of people drive 2wd pick-up trucks every winter and there would seem to be no mass slaughter involved. Pick-ups have much worse vehicle dynamics than our cars.

So why all the chicken-little quaking about the FRS and snow?

Well that's just it, I argue that the FRS would be good in the snow, because it's light and well balanced. Others seem to ignore the whole physics thing and argue that they'd prefer tanks.
