Yeah but I wanted to see just how bad it could be before I went to buy new frickin wheels and tires. Even though I made it to work and back without any issues I did start going sideways around the corner from my house for apparently no reason, but easily recovered with a little throttle.

The conditions aren't really snowy, just glazed with ice. I have a feeling it will be worse in deeper snow. =D

I give these tires a 1/5, which is better than a 0/5.

Ok, now I remembered why I wanted a thread. Does anyone know the bolt patterns for all the recent Subarus? I figure the best route would be to go to Tirerack, choose a vehicle with the right specs, buy <$100 wheels, have them slap snows on them, and bam ship it up Scotty and it will still be a better deal than what I can get locally. Someone had some Baja Turbo wheels/tires on Clist for $600 but I do not know the wheel specs.
