Default FYI: B5 S4 on all-seasons = VERY FUN IN SNOW.

Sorry, this has probably been posted hundreds of times before. But it was my first snow with my S4 and I had a very enjoyable drive in to work. And donuts in the work parking lot.

Exactly. Get real winter tires if your in a true winter enviornment. Think of it as insurance.

I'm in Seattle, it snows MAYBE once or twice a year. My commute is 2.5 miles. Not worth it.

Then snow tires are worth it, but you'd probably laugh at how little snow it takes to shut down SEA
