Winter-proofing an Evo

This was my Evo's first winter (in Canada so it's damn cold) as well and these are the steps I took to winterize her.
1. New big battery as old one was getting weak in the cold weather
2. Rustproofed the bottom of the car
3. 10w30 synthetic and coolant flush
4. Hankook winter ipike w409 235/45/17 on stock BBS
5. plenty of winter washer fluid
Luckily I store my Evo indoors, but when she sits outside I do feel a bit of a rougher start and idle for sure. If you can I suggest finding indoor parking, it's definitely worth it for cars like these.

Pics as requested. 215/50/17 Hankook Ipike's on stock 8'' rims. Shrunken Iphone pics do not look that great, but you get the idea.

When I bought them, the shop mentioned around 4-5 seasons, but from what I hear the material used on them is a lower grade than the Nokian's they copy. So far I have no complaints other than having to drive them for around 200 miles before they get sticky and the fact they are a bit noisy.
