OEM STi Tires in the winter
Anyone have experience with how bad the OEM STi Tires are in the winter/ice/snow? They sure do look they will be a lot of fun, but I really don't want to spend another 1K+ on tires and wheels at the moment. Just traded up from a WRX to the STi, didn't really think about it at the time

Depends on where you live, how much snow you get, how fast you drive in the snow/ice/cold.. Ofcourse they say that the OEM tires on the STi are "Summer" tires ONLY so you really Should change them but if money is tight and you REALLY have to drive on them just be EXTRA careful...
..My two cents...

the STi OEM's are crappy on anything but dry pavement.
Get a set of some rotta's and some all season M+S rated tires if you are gonna see any snow in the STi.
think about it, you just paid 32K for this car, don't crash it because you didn't spend the 1K on tires.

Oh, I don't know how much I'd sell them for, I was kinda kidding, but I guess I probably won't use them. I'm in NW Ohio, and they only have 4000 miles on them. If you're really interested I could take some pics when my wife (and therefore camera) gets home. What's a good price?
