No it's okay I'll ride the stock tires for another month or so, then put my new rims on. The stock tires are so bad, they spin out when its slippery waaay to easy.

What's so funny? The stock all season tires are crap, and it's easy to spin them out when starting in first. The T1R intake gave me at least 6HP at the wheels so now they spin EVEN EASIER then before.

How did your lip hold up?

Looks like you guys got all the snow, we just got the deep freeze...so the question becomes, what's worse, 5-15cm of snow in 0oC to -5oC conditions or 1-3cm of blowing snow in -35oC/-45oC w/ windchill??? I dunno which one is worse...the cold sucks because its so freakin cold, but snow sucks because our cars become snowplows...
