great pics! I put some Pirelli SnowSport 240s on and drove around in the snow this past weekend.

What an AWESOME snow car!

PS2s in Snow
I drive mine in the snow with my PS2s and as long as I'm careful managing the torque I do fine. It's the idiots driving 70mph in a snowstorn that give me the shakes. I'm surprised with how well the PS2s do in snow, and this year has given me more than a few opportunities to test them

I have the Pirellis on my TT and it is an awesome snow car. I bought it specifically to be a four season car. I get a lot of off looks, but I don't care!

Four seaons was my plan too. Wifey said if you buy it you have to drive it...twist my arm.

Brain Police -

PLEASE stop driving your car in snow with PS2s. I'm telling you, you will crash at some point.

It's not that it will not "go", it just will not "stop".

Summer rubber and cold temps do not mix well - add an inch of snow to that mix and rear ending someone is a good possibility.

Not worth it IMO.

For about $800 shipped from TireRack, you can put some proper winter rubber on your current rims and be happy and safe.
