Traction in snow
#27
I have an evo 8 and X and I run contenental ExtremeContract DWS on both. They kick butt in the snow and are almost as good as summer tires in the dry. I choose them over running separate summer and snow tires mostly because snow tires, although great in the snow, suck in the dry. The loss of traction in the dry is minimal, and to be honest I prefer running these tires than the summer Yokohama's the cars came with because It was hard to determine when those tires were going to break loose. Its also cheaper and easier to run on set of tires.

Good responses guys. Yeah I've noticed, and this is saying a lot, that my car with completely worn out tires(summer) drive fine in the snow and won't get stuck at all, just can't brake well. I think that says a lot. I might just grab some good all seasons and maybe winter tires as well. The undercoating sounds good but I wouldn't know how to go about that. Are there shops that do it?

I'm sure there's shops that do it, but this is something you can do yourself - super easy. I'm sure people have posted videos on Youtube or something also so you can maybe get a better idea of it, but essentially you're just coating the bottom of the car.
Heres an example of one in a spray can:

Here's an example of the kind you would paint on:
