Winter tires on the RA
I put on the winter setup Friday evening. They are 17"x7" (46mm back spacing) Mitsu 2G 2 piece Enkie wheels (brand new-won at IL MOD 2009) and on them I mounted new 205/50/17 General Altimax Artic's.
These tires feel like I am driving on sponges. They are not noisy but very sloppy.
The car feels like it rolls sideways even with very slow entry speeds. And forget about accelerating out of the corner.
Do all winter tires feel this way?

Yeah, the wifey wont let me do "fun" things in her 07 Outlander AWD XLS and my 92 Galant VR4 has not even seen rain in 3 years. (you can see her under blankets behind the RA)
So I sold my boring Saturn DD and bought a DD that I want to drive.
I just hope that the front lip is high enough to stay in one piece.
