if anything raise the psi in the tires so you will get no traction + wet pavements wouldnt be hard on the drivetrain.

I'd imagine snow tires are better for sliding, then the summer Advans?

sounds fine, just be smooth, avoid shock. force applied over time is better than all that force instantly. just try not to shock the drivetrain

I'll try to not shock the drivetrain. However I'm not 100% how to not do that.

and my car's absolutely covered in mud from today, mirrors, front bumper, wing, windows, everything. I think that's how an EVO should look, so I'm never washing it ever again.
