Well, the stock WRX tires are fine in snow. I drove mine the past two winters and never had a problem. Obviously you will have problems in really deep snow, but in the 2-3" stuff we had around here, I never had a problem. The stock WRX tires are "all weather" tires. The STi tires are Z rated performance tires. Two completely different worlds...

 

stock wrx > stock sti in snow. Just cuz the tires, even tho the sti has dccd for the winter

 

Yeah, but it doesn't matter how much power is directed to which end of the car, if it doesn't have any traction...

 

Hey. I saw this WRX stuck in the ditch too... I got off work around 8. Such a sad sight

 

Got to love all the cocky kids with awd.

 

Malibu Grill = the hot shit.

Obviously, someone didn't tell that STi owner that his name wasn't Peter Solberg and that Bridgestone RE-02's are not snow tires...

 

ill put studs in anyones tires for 10 bucks, just supply the nails and beer

 

AWD doesn't do crap in the ice. Four wheels that have power to them slide just as well as two wheels that have power. I was doing 10 mph in my WRX with brand new snow tires on it last night and I was sliding just a tad bit. Just slow the hell down and engine brake with LIGHT pressure on the brake pedal and you shouldn't spin out or break traction.

Just because you have 4 Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive doesn't mean your God when winter comes around. And this last part comes from a guy who has both a 4 wheel drive truck and an All Wheel Drive car.

 

STi tires blow in rain, couldnt imagine snow. reg. WRX tires are All Season to my knowledge. maybe someone shoulda told him that this isnt WRC. i got around fine last night, but it really wasnt snowing hard in herndon

 

we will see how round 2 turns out.... will we see a evo 8 in a ditch????
