i thought that i get by this winter by being cheap, by keeping my es100's on, well so far so good, but i will never try this again. grip is alright on ice/slush (don't ask me how), but in snow its nothing but rocking back and forth trying to get unstuck.:confused:

My 14" snows have been on since November. This -30 degree weather is starting to get a little more than annoying.

I uninstalled my CAI in favour of the stock intake system for the winter ... through experience with my last car, the CAI filter would get filthy really fast if left on during the winter months.

Whoa, for 14" those look good. Seriously, I think those don't look all that bad...

Plus it makes the stock brakes look huge hahaha ;)

All in all - I didn't like them much at first - but I think they are cute now... They've grown on me alot. If havving tire that meaty didn't screw up performance handeling - I would consider keeping them on longer than the winter...

Definately a steal for $150 including tires...
