I'm heading into the third winter with mine. Yep it's fun in the snow. Blizzaks are great but kinda spendy and they wear quickly when the roads are clear. Hakkas are great as well. Friends of mine have been lucky to get two winters on either of those sets of tires because of how quickly they wear on the road.
I have a second set of tires (Michelin Alpin Sport) for winter mounted on my painted stock rims. They have been great tires too. They are cheaper than blizzaks and like I said, I'm on my third winter now and they still look brand new.

I'm thinking of using mine to go snowboarding in our local mountains this winter with appropriate tires. They don't use road salt here, fortunately. Just plows.
Two questions I have:
(1) Under the local chain laws I should not need chains with the right tires, since it's AWD. But .... has any of you ever had the highway patrol insist that you need chains, even when you didn't need them as the law is written?
(2) If I use Rally Armor mud flaps, is my lower body paint going to get trashed from all the muck?
