and blizzaks are supposed to be good tires. then just maybe get the lsd and you should be set
spray the underside with oil, or on my truck i just paint the frame every year with rustoleaum. you can get snows on the stock 16s and upgrade to some nice 17/18s now to

Yea i got some blitz tires (stock rims) for winter & nitos for summer (aftermarket rims). I've driven 3 winters only.... pains me to do. But I don't have the space for another car nor do I want to spent the money on insurance with another car when i got 2 sets of tires w/ the car. Just take it slow & you'll be okay.
