I do need to get the WRX wheels and tires swapped.

That makes sense, I thought you used the WRX as a daily driver that is why I was surprised.

You are right, normally it is used daily by my son for school , and I drive it on weekends. But this year they are all doing remote learning so it has been parked most days. We have had very little snow this season thus far too, almost nothing. I do need to get the wheels and tires swapped though, I usually do it ahead of December 1st but not this year, so busy and lazy. My Imprezza is really good in snow too, but I prefer driving the WRX when I can. The Dunlops are not to be used in any cold temps so I need to get moving on this.

Yes I got caught out in an early storm with the Dunlops on, they were not good at all.

It snowed a few more inches last night, but some melted. It has been hovering around freezing vs normal January temps here. Funny, there are snowmen everywhere! That is because we very, very rarely have snow that packs since it is typically much colder, so we actually do not see a lot of snowmen. So when we get the wet sticky snow everyone goes crazy on building them!

Went out in the Tacoma last night on the Blizzaks. In 2WD with traction/stability turned all the way off I still had to work to keep it drifting around lol. Have been running them for years but good snow tires never cease to amaze me.
