    My federal 595 on sti did pretty well in the snow until the next morning when I tried to get out of my driveway and couldn't get out. Awd wasn't enough with the federal summer tires in a foot of heavy wet snow. It wasn't great but it was acceptable in the 5 inches of snow the night before

        Switched over to the Blizzaks day before the storm that we had. Had snow up to my mid bumper and then some. Started her up and warm up, got in and drove off like it was nothing. Usally don't put the winters on till mid Dec but the last storm snuck up on us so they went on early.

          I just switched to my blizzaks. I forgot how terrible they feel. It makes this car feel like its 100 years old and the whole steering system is made of marshmallows. Though lighting up 2nd gear from a 40 roll is kind of fun... eh.

                  snow... tires? whats that?

                  M/S on the subie makes for some good driving and some good fun when you want it

                  might be picking up a set of continental DWS soon, though, since the OEM tires are finally gettin' down there...

                        Bald summer tires fml. Took me 25 minutes just to get out to bring my daughter to daycare. Only to find out they had no power. Then boss called me. No power at work either. Stayed home with the munchkin.
