Dunlop wintersport m3s on stock ap1 wheels. Got up plenty of steep hills in 4 inch of snow with a layer of ice.

 

Seems like such a simple concept to me.

 

That's exactly what I have. No spinning, and they're great in winter rain too.

 

With my snow tires I go through snow storms, ice, up snow covered hills, etc... with no problems at all.

 

vsa: vehicle stability assist. It utilizes brakes, dbw throttle, and the lsd to determine which part of the car is losing control and corrects them. Personally i care about the ap2 upgrades 1/10th as much as i do about the vsa. it saved my ass more than 10 times and the freedom to turn it off completely is such an amazing feature. it does one hell of a job of saving your ass too in slippery and thinking-you're-a-badass-taking-turns-at-60mph situations.

 

It won't overcome physics though.

 

If VSA has saved your but 10 times already, I think its time to re-evaluate your driving style! Like woodson said Physics will win.
As for snow, dunlop M3s + VSA = no worries in just about any winter conditions without clearance issues

 

Uh, eagle F1 GS-D3 are NOT snow tires, they are great SUMMER ONLY tires. You know they say SUMMER ONLY for a reason?

 

As laguna2s2k said, stop driving like an idiot before you hurt yourself, or worse, others. Save it for track days.

 

the stock tires on the '04s suck in the snow. i have all seasons on now and the car is relatively fine in the snow...it's no fj cruiser though
