Woo hoo! I can rip around corners again! Hopefully soon I can wear off these awful Yoko AVS ES100s and get some real tires.
You know, the SVT has the most glorious ride with 15" wheels and 60 series snow tires.

How can you not?
For one thing, don't you notice the steering is heavier with the summer tires??

Ok you got me. I simply "forgot" yeah, that's it, "forgot" 
On those old roads that have compressed where the tires roll, it likes to pull if I'm not centred.....

as soon as I got my new wheels and tires front tirerack they went on the contour and the snows came off......it rained that day and the next, then I was working all day sunday, got to drive for a few minutes, and today it had to snow, didn't want to chance it.....  still waiting for the chance to see how the car handles, but the tires were really good in the rain at least
