I think I got stuck once when I lived near Lake Placid. I was lowered on Neuspeed Race springs and had some sort of 14" Firestone tires - not the greatest, but I didn't know what I was in for.

I've got Blizzak MZ02s all around and it sticks like glue.

Just don't drive them on dry pavement. :ugh:

Oh geez, i have 17 inch rims with low profile Yoko's and Kumho's. Should i "invest" in some steelies from junkyard for my two front tires? All 4 tires? And wrap them with inexpensive snow tires?

If you get snow tires, you need to get 4 of them for balanced traction. IMHO, inexpensive snow tires will work better than the best all season tires.

One year, I got lazy for the first snow of the season and only put the snows on the front with the stockers on the rear. I wasn't driving that fast , anyway the fronts took the corner fine but the rears lost traction mid way through the turn and caused me to spin.

After I crawled home, I immediately put the rear snows on too!

I heard from some guy in an IS300 that putting armor all on the tread helps wet traction and snow traction.

j/k, don't do that. I got snow tires and they work great. :thumbup:

Why do you care if Integra is good in the snow? What if they are not? Are you gonna buy a truck and tune that up instead?
