For those in the cold weather parts of the country, how many have either bought snow tire packages, put on all-seasons, or stayed with the stock set-up to get through the winter?? Also, if you did change or replace tires, what did you get??
I am hopefully getting mine soon. I want to get new rims in the spring, but i would rather have the 17's and toss some winter tires on those then the 16's. Is this a good idea or not?
I heard those new DS1 tires are the best. My friend got them on his 12 sec Talon and he says they are the best snow tires he's ever ran. We took sharp turns on snow covered roads at pretty high speeds and never lost control once.

Kept the summer tiress on in MA. For the snow days (2 so far) i rent a car from rent a wreck. $60 so far this winter. Still cheaper than buying tires and rims.
I bought a set of used 17" IS300 wheels for $600 and put Pirelli P7000 SS on them for winter. I'm saving the graphite 17" w/Bridgestones for April-Sept. This way I can do my own thing whenever I feel like it.
Of course, I may not recoup the $600 wheel expense in my lifetime!!!
Well I haven't had my car that long but it did snow here in St. Louis and couple of days ago and it handled nice with my stock POTENZA'S. but haven't been in the really bad stuff yet!

Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
Anyone have any experience with an aftermarket OE replacement oil pan? Mine is dented from the PO and since I have to pull it to address the gasket leak i was going to replace it.
The aftermarket ones are WAY cheaper than OE. But I am curious about the manufacture quality. Doesn't seem like...
Long story short i hopped a curb going about 45 degrees into it at maybe about 20 mph passenger tire first.... i put all new lower control arms on it. I got everythin to bolt up pretty nicely except the drivers side i had to basicly force the camber adjustment bolt into place, So it sits ever...
