I drive mine all year round because it is a dd. Blizzaks in the winter on stock 10 spokes and nittos in the summer on 18 c6 z06. Honestly just let the engine warm up in the winter and they are fine. I mean if i can get through with a 4.10 rear end with a shift kit and a 3600 stall and its an a4 lol i think anyone will be fine.

Usually needs to be 65 or higher for me to drive. I don't like driving with the windows up. Besides, it's hard to hook up on hot days let alone a cold *** road.

Joe thats cause your winters down there are summers up here so easy for you to say LOL!
Yes a vacation would be nice. My dad told me the same thing down in melbourne but I dont think child support would like me very much seeing how I have no vacation time! LOL

I just got back from a ride. Its like 45f here. Had a couple runs from a dig, 30 roll, and 50-140 with 2 wrxs. Came out on top everytime but my car totally raped *** from a dig. Traction problems at first but still kicked the poor pups lol

I usually garage it mid November and pull it back out late Feb - early March. If I had to pick a climate limit I'd say around 40*. My winter beater (87 Sport Coupe) has Firestone Winterforces on it and the car is unstoppable in snow, even uphill starts it has no trouble clawing through it. 2.73 gear + open diff no less.

Mine always goes into storage when the first small snowfall hits & doesnt come out until March. This year it seems to be a waste putting it up, this winter has been a big disappointment.

Still have mine out. Don't drive it much but when it gets nice on the weekends and a 60F day pops up, i take it out. Its kinda nice to have the option to drive it in mid winter.

Yes sir buddy its been a great winter and the longest iv gone without driving it was 2 wks. Thats when we got that snow and I though that was it for the year so I oulled the battery. But the next wk it was 60f so the batt went back in and might just stay there seeing how april is just around the corner.
