pretty much, and people wonder why the roads get so fuckey when it snows. But in all fairness, is is becoming tougher andf tougher to afford to live in Vancouver and the surrounding areas. A lot of people are having trouble paying their rent, and buying a second set of tires is way out of the question.

My winters SUCK in the rain (215/45/r18 XICE's), especially that it's warmer now. Have to be so careful with the throttle, If I go full throttle in 3rd at any speed they'll just spin (and that's both tires, since the MS3 has LSD).

I couldn't do that with my summers in the rain. Seriously thinking about changing sooner.

+1 My winters are horrible in the rain aswell.. Snows are only good for snow.

Swapped mine on Saturday... but my wheel lock key broke on me (WTF?!) when I was trying to torque my wheels correctly.

Now have to get replacement key.

"snow" tires are designed for winter driving. That includes snow, ice, rain and anything in between. Pony up the money for a good set of winter tires and you wont run into problems. Very similar to comparing a set of toyo r1r's to a set of motomaster summer tires of the same size from Cambodian Tire. World of difference in quality

It's not summer enough for my summer car.

My Uniroyal winters made a fuckload of noise at high speed, now that I'm on my summers, I don't have to crank my radio up on the highway anymore.

My current set of tires are not ment for anything but dry. I spin out on pretty much every hill possible unless I start in 2nd slip alot.
