EVO's ABS sucks in the snow...
I cant stop for ****. Everytime ABS kicks in, I just keep sliding forward. Any recommendations as far as stopping, or just get better tires? Im on all season Nexens that came with the car.

Oh my god, I hate ABS. I've never had a car with ABS. I'm half tempted to take it out, but I don't want to mess anything up. M first day driving in the snow, ABS almost killed my 3 times.
I solve it by braking JUST to the point of ABS and light pump the brakes myself. A good driver can stop faster wihtout ABS, then with ABS fully engaged.

Get the Blizzak WS-50. I bought them back when they were like $140 each and they are well worth it. Mount them on your stock wheels and get a set of summer wheels for summer tires.
Also, stop trying to turn while braking. Brake, let off the brakes, turn, accelerate. If you have the WS-50's then just turn to full lock without braking. You'll slide straight for about a second, but then they'll grip and turn the car. Once you're turning, give it some gas to rotate the back end around and then steer with the rear.
