as you know salt and snow suck! i was wondering what everyone that has to face these conditions does?

i was also thinking of getting a another set of rotas used, for some snow/winter tires so my slips don't get all nasty and i don't have to use my gay stocks....any opinions?(SP?)

I put my Summer tires on my Kosei K-1's they are off the car now and I have my Dunlop SP Winter Sports M3's on the Stock RSXTypeS rims.

why is that?

As far as the salt, all you can do is wash and wax your car before winter and keep it washed. I've been using Michelin Alpin tires or Bridgestone Blizzaks. They both work fine.
