Hey, 4 Blizzaks and your set to go!

 

Nice pic! Very xmass'y with the red 8 and white snow.

 

lol my 8 looks nearly the same. 4 blizzaks on ASA rims that have the same 2 piece 6 spoke pattern.

 

my all season tires work just fine.

 

and a nice set of rusty callipers to go lol......u should see ur wheel wells when ur done ur snow fun ..............good luck

 

They do? WOW..Good luck Packers-Central Division all the way!!!!!

 

^ I don't see the need to have snow tires, and then switch them back to summer tires. I don't race.

 

Ha! All seasons are fine if you live in a area that might see a couple inches a year. Anywhere else they are dangerous.

 

^ I live in northern wisconsin. Some people can drive in the snow. 30 years ago all cars were rear wheel drive, and we all didn't switch tires for winter driving.

 

Its not you that you have to worry about, its all the idiots on all seasons around you that think they can drive in snow like its dry pavement.

 

I got the same tires and my rims have two different bolt patterns too!

 

You obviously never driven your 8 in the snow.

I can't move in anything more than 1" of snow on the stock tries.

 

^ holy ****, read the thread before you post.

I drive my RX8 every freaken day. Only pussies can't drive in the snow.

 

I've been driving in snow for 34 years...but not my 8. In fact, I don't drive my 8 in winter- by choice. Hey, it's my fun car, and I want to keep it nice for the 9 months of the year when the roads are actually road-like, not an Iditarod trail. Be that as it may, I do know there are some who use their 8's as daily drivers and must drive them in snow- more power to them, they are great human beings and showing some nifty adaptive skills.

But the 8 owner who will win the title of "Ultimate RX-8 Winter Driver" will be the first one to mount a snow-plow on the front end and clear a Denny's parking lot.

Let the competition begin.

 

Yeagh you fellas driving the 8 in harsh winter weather areas are ballsey, not from a good/bad driver standpoint, but from a putting your 8 through alot of **** standpoint. Up till 4 yrs ago i lived in northern/northwest Ohio my whole life and i know how harsh winter weather can be on your cars. All the salt/sand, mud, ice and snow take a toll on the car both cosmetically and mechanically.
For those that have no choice but to drive their 8 in that weather, thats understandable. But if you can afford to get a beater to drive through the ruff times, its sure worth it IMO. No way in hell i drive my 8 through the winter just for the "thrill" of it or so that i can boast about being a good "winter" driver in the 8. Before you know it, 2-3 ruff winters have passed and your paint has countless chips/nicks in it and half the car's underbody is rusting.

 

Yeah, what he said!! Although I live in Indiana, I grew up in Wisconsin. So, the Packers are my fav football team and I STILL know how to drive in snow...

 

Jones is right-on. If you're going to be an excellent driver in snow, drive a beater excellently. Save your 8 the abuse.

That would be lazi!

He has the biggest plow!

 

But I like your wheels better (And the white is my favorite)!!!

 

my 8 is to low to get into my driveway.

it has a 2-3" triangular water block at the edge. as well as descending a very steep 45 degrees to my garage. otherwise, i would. but seeing as i cant even get it into my driveway...

 

8's werent meant for snow, no matter how great of tires youve got you cant drive in more than 5.2 inches of snow anyways. I dont know, I just expected to garage mine but thats me

 

I don't know how you guys do it. I don't even drive my RX-8 in the rain, let alone anywhere near snow.
Pretty cool seeing them with big snow tires though

 

So Jedi finnally admits it!

He not a JEdi afterall... Just the wicked Warlock from the West who will melt along with the RX8 if it rains on him.

 

I prefer the comfort of my full-time 4 wheel drive SUV over getting the RX-8 dirty.

 

^^Amen, Jedi, amen.
