@ stewie. DO IT! I'd be so down for something like that.

just don't be surprised when you come back to find your car sideswiped to shit. If you're expecting to get stuck maybe you shouldnt drive in the first place?

dude basically if a tire cant handle the rain, expect to handle 10 times worse in the snow.

912 and 512 both are myserable in the snow.

I had 912 two winter ago, used it for less than 2 months and the hell with it, sold it and got Conti winter tires and never look back.

ASX is horrible in the rain, and hydroplanes easily once u are above 85-90km on the freeway. UNless u have a tercel, any 200 hp+++ car will slip with that set

4LO + tirechains + big bad V8 = what winter?

People thought I was crazy when I bought tirechains 2 years ago because they were only $100 for 2 sets, NOW WHOSE LAUGHING.
