for anybody still with the advan, get snow tires. it snowed a little over here, 2 inches or 3 but i just got home from work, usually it takes me 15 minutes today it took me an hour and half. first i get to a stop sign, push the brakes gently, the abs kicks in and the car just kept going to the middle of the street, thank god no cars were coming, then i get to a turn, i am in 2nd gear try to turn and the car went straight with the steering wheel turned all the way to the right and almost hit the curb. all this was at around 20 mph. scared the sh*t out of me.
the snow got me by surprise but the blizzaks are on the way.

Iced roads are my worst nightmare. Not a lot of them here in Calif. but I travel a lot. Let us know how the Blizzaks work out!

Heh.. Welcome to the world of all-seasons..

First winter I had the car I tried to take it out ONCE on the Yoko's in snow.. I got a few blocks from my house, turned around and took out my Neon... This year I have proper all-season performance tires.. I'm able to get around no trouble with these new tires.. The biggest problem I actually have is the morons in SUV's who think they can drive "Normal" speeds in bad weather.. I get the gut feeling the car will get BLASTED by one of these idiotic soccer moms..

With the snow or all season tires, theres an unbelievable sense of confidence and stability driving in poor weather.. Totally different than with the stock tires.

What is this "snow" thing you speak of???

well no kidding.. the Advans are summer tires (your window sticker also tells you this, or at least, it should)

It was icey as **** here and I was on bald Advans... ... took about 2.5 hours to go 35 miles.

I managed to use the Advans in the snow last season with the ABS fuse pulled, but I wouldn't recommend it. The day after I bought my car there was a freak snowstorm, and the local tire places didn't have any snow tires that would fit the Evo. They could have ordered them but they couldn't get there before the snow melted & I wouldn't need them anymore lol.

I didn't even get out of my driveway with the Advans. Not only is snow bad but cold weather as well.... Advans don't heat up very well below like 40.

Blizzaks rule!

I love the Evo but living in the Midwest, you got to get all season's or dedicated snow tires. I just replaced the Advan's for some Sumitomo's HTR+'s all seasons. It snowed this weekend, a little but nothing I could really do any tests in. All I know is they got to be better than the Advans. I went through 2 intersections last year with the Advans, I just couldn't stop. I wouldn't risk it again.... and I love to take risks too. NOBODY should be driving Advans in the snow, it's just too risky.

It's kind of like hurricanes, but much colder and not as damaging...

Thats why last week i bought a Honda Element AWD for this winter. another reason is to keep my attention away from the evo cuz i already put 16k miles on it in 6 months. The Evo is so addicting!!

yea good stuff, i was driving those for a short time, and its a miracle i didnt hit someone or something, you so much as just tap the brakes, the evo is going sideways. its wierd, never seen a car do that, then again. i've never drivin tires like those in the snow.

Should have stepped out of the car and let couple of PSI of air out from your tires. Running 40psi on rock hard tires won't help you turn
