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.

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.

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.

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

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.
