    did you get your car aligned after the new tires were put on? if yo udidnt you should start there. last winter my car didn't have a good alignment (seemed ok on dry roads) and once winter hit the handling was terrible in the snow. now this year, same tires with lower tread but a good alignment and my car handles wayyy better in the snow.

    Odd to say this in the age of stealing gas but, you need more siphons.

    I run Michelin Hydroedge tires and I can say it's 100% a tire problem, the 90,000 mile warranty is double of most other tires and means the rubber is hard as a rock. Softer rubber grips better on snow/ice.

    That said my car still drives much better in the snow than any of my previous rides (chevy aveo, ford focus, saturn ls1, and a few pickup trucks)

    ^^I realize a stock L36 is not as fast as the sticker implies, but this sticker has worked and it is still a hell of a lot of fun to drive considering it's a grocery sedan.
