Actually, the Evo's ABS sucks in the snow. It's too sensitive and has the overall effect of disabling the brakes on slick surfaces. I've actually been meaning to wire a switch to turn the ABS off when there is snow on the ground.

I saw two fellow EVO drivers on the snowy chicago streets, one heading towards Touhy on Lincoln.
It was a mess out there this am but I'm impressed with this car plus winter tires. Driving is snow is actually fun now

what tires do you run in the snow when you all say the ABS is too sensitive?
