Default I need help making a decision

yeah, its for my Focus but here is the deal. I need to debate between a custom stereo system for my car or winter rims/tires.

My car has a factory amp and 8" sub which are okay, but not wonderful. A friend of mine does custom fabs for helicopters and can help me with a kickass stealth install and a fiberglassed box.

The car came with 215/45/R17 Continental ContiSport Contacts. I like the tires for summer, but I cannot drive the car when it snows.

The stereo will cost less than the snow tires, but I kind of need them for any precipitation on the ground that is not rain.

What should I do?

Really I guess when you drive a Focus and go through 12 recalls, you really don't expect to live anyway

Form or function?

Go for the audio! You don't need to be safe and stay on the road.

JFWY...... I've heard we're gonna have a tough winter.

Using laws of probabilities to predict weather :rofl: :rofl:

Get some crappy bridgestone or goodyear all seasonals for your car. You don't need bona fide snow tires down there. in Philly or MD.
