It MUST make a helluva difference. My GS4 wouldn't have a PRAYER in snow that deep.

That's what the RX is for...

No, these are 16's from a 1st gen LS. They are not as bad as they look, just the center caps are ugly, the paint has peeled off. I need to get them sprayed to match the rims

It's been snowing here for about 3 hours now and we have about 4 1/2 inches. I have bald Toyos right now so I won't be doing any fun snow driving. Maybe I'll bury my car tomorrow morning like some other members did. Haha.

This will easily put any AWD cute-ute with all season tires to shame. This the first winter that I bought winter tires, if I knew that they make such difference, I regret not having them in previous winters.
