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

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. Quote:

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.
