With Blizzaks it's like having an AWD car. Night and Day difference in snow performance. 3-4 inches is laughable.

I my car(more like my tires) sucks in snow. like, sucks pathetically. We took the car out one night when it was snowing for a litle drifting action, but it was hard just to get the car moving in the snow which was only 3 or 4 inches deep haha.

Bah, I've driven in 8 inches deep snow. The ITR is not that bad of a snow plow

My R has seen snow twice. Once I was staying over at Chris (RStoR) and Cliff's the first year I had it, and we got a couple inches of slush. No traction until fourth gear

This winter, we got dumped on. My R was sitting outside when it started - I was rushing to get the orange beast ready for the conditions. By the time I got it sorted out, there was two inches on the ground. Getting from parking spot to garage with 70%-gone RE010's was no fun

But I did get to go out and do this (no, not with 009) - http://itr-nc.com/snow/orange.mpg

Same tires I used for two Canadian winters (until I got tired of the salt)

Two words:

WINTER TIRES.

With winter tires, the ITR rocks in snow!
