lol well i dont think you will be able to get my stance then one thought, i dd it durring the summer, and have been caught out in the rain with that set up, and i have had no problems as far as turning or traction is concerned.. I even had my car out before christamss here in IL (not the smartest move but i lived) and it was great!!!
