Drove up to SFU today in blizzard conditions. It was great, I love having an LSD. I even tried coming to a dead stop on a super steep incline and dropped the clutch - spin spin spin grip grip go. My Mazda3 could never do that even on snow tires (arguably better ones too, Bridgestone Bizzak WS-40 vs Hankook iPike w409).. damn open diffs.

Snow in Nanaimo today--maybe 4" so far. No big deal with the T/A's, and I agree with BKL--this thing's a hoot in snow!
If you need to go somewhere, just keep the revs down in a higher gear than normal at whatever speed you choose to travel, use more of your head and less of your right foot.

thanks...but then again having a set of snows is just a precaution...not needed and its POSSIBLE to get thru winter with all seasons/summer but i mean...its BETTER...

A friends selling winter tires with rims for 200...but the thing is the bolt pattern is 5x100

get winter tires. All it takes is a few minutes of heavy snowing and you could end up paying thousands in damage. I know, it almost happened to me last year.
