I had an 02 cavy 2.4 z24/5sp with 4 dunlop winter sports on it and i would have to pass suv's most of the time . These cars with good w/tires should be great in the snow

dont skimp, get blizzaks for wintersport m3's, its worth the money... i took 20 minutes getting into my garage yesterday cause i couldnt get up my driveway. i have to drive 30 minutes to work three times a week starting this weekend, and more often when more snow comes! beleive me the blizzaks and wintersports work wonders. if i can drive my car with them fine in the winter, you guys will have 0 problems.

The continental tires suck on the stock 15" steelies. I had maybe a inch of snow on the road, and all I could do was spin and slide. Thinking about throwing some studs in them, but someone told me it was bad for a fwd car. Any imput?

In the snow today, accidents all around town, car did great. When the tires spin the computer throttles the engine down and says "low traction" on the DIC. If you keep you foot in it, it throttles back up and spins again, back down, grabs and then back up, like a yo-yo. My only complaint is that when the tires spin, the car always moves right, needs a limited slip. Really had to hit the pedal to get it to spin though. I am runnin stock tires.

I am running Winterforce winter tires(check em out on tire rack), they are great tires, I have a min 1 hr comute each way 5 days a week thru the snowbelt in Ontario, they are deffinitely confidence inspiring tires.
