I can vouch for his skills at driving on snow and ice. Coming back from the Grand Canyon Rallye in January 2000, we must have gone through about six snow storms on the way home. He had such great control of the car that I felt as safe as if he had been driving on clear dry roads.

i guess regular chains won't clear the strut and fender well. at least that's what i've been told.
s class chains means they are lower profile and will work on the sti.
