Maybe you have a different definition for "work" than the rest of us.

Sic-S,
I got stuck in an unexpected snow storm at Crater Lake, Oregon last year.
The road was clear and weather overcast as I headed up to the lake from I-5 for some sight seeing. The closer I got the colder it became, apparently from the rise in elevation. Nearing the lake I found a 1-2" packed snow base on the hiway as the snow started falling. I dropped my speed to 5MPH not knowing what to expect as this was the first time I had the S in snow. There were very few cars on the road as I progressed on up - I was commited at this point to complete the journey. I became more and more confident driving the in the snow. I finally decided to experiment with the ability to stop and start in the snow. I got up to 35MPH and mashed the break pedal hard as I down shifted into second and let out the clutch. The result was the S stopped as if it was dry pavement. Accellerating from a dead stop was equally effective as long as it wasn't too agressive.
That is my definition of "works in snow"

I am running Falken RT615 tires on my '04 225/45/17 (front) and 255/40/17 (rear). Great tires. Super sticky for auto-x and daily driving with decent wear. I got 15K miles on my first set of RT615s.

slightly off topic, but can anyone tell me what the stock weight of the '01 wheels are vs the '04-'06 wheels are. I'm assuming since they're larger they must be heavier, i'm just not sure HOW much heavier they are. Thanks!

I saw some where that the 04+ wheels weigh around 35lbs but I can't be sure that's totally accurate.
Found it!!! Here's the link, it shows 35 lbs to ship.

Unless it's tirerack or wheelweights.net, I don't trust their claims.
Does someone have a postage scale at work?
