Yea im about to feel it too this year, i dont have any winter tires or wheels. But just planning on some new wheels next year. As far as the lowering, might want to wait, i know my front bumper will be acting as a snow plow.

i mean, its not alberta... but i actually was unable to swap out my 20s this past summer (long story)...

Summertires, snow and ice..

LBC gets thru the winter no problem...

Are you concerned with traction, or with being a snow plow? The front drop is only 1.4 in or something like that, not enough to cause plowing IMHO

snow plowing isnt too big of a concern, but traction/handling on ice/snowi know it sounds kinda stupid, but the snow in my area is terrible (most of the calgary coupe owners know)
