They are Nokian WRs, very good in the snow, but can also be used all year round. I still have the oem tires on in the spring/summer, but when they are shot I will run the Nokians all year.
I really should clean the car up, but have been lazy.

For those that need it, I did a walkthrough on speaker installation and thought I would share it here. The threads have a lot of pics.

Thread Bump with Pics
I was out today, so here are two shots. Sorry about the size, but here it goes:
My car next to a red 2002 Blitzen model GT. The thing hanging down below the Blitzen bumper is an NHK mascot, Domo.
And the other of the ride.

after last nights ride
I'm getting a new turbo and some additional go-fast goodies in the next month or so. Still need to install my CF trunk spoiler and put on my summer tires.
She'll also be getting a new windshield soon.

Well, once you hop in and drive one, you think otherwise. I would love for more people to at least give them a shot.
dropped it off at the shop 2 weeks ago. ripping apart the motor, doing a full build. cosworth internals, 1100cc injectors, sti heads/intake manifold setup, full race GT35R turbo, full race twin scroll manifold, front mount, and also getting the 6speed specB trans built.

There must be some sort of irrational snobbery in me that I won't consider a Legacy because both Matt and Mako's cars look fantastic for totally different reasons.
Ignorance maybe? I dunno. Bias against my perception of Japanese design maybe.
Just weird. I love both those cars but part of me says, "I won't own one." Kind of sense does that make?

Bump, plus a tire pic
Here's more. Plus I have the Goodyear F1 A/S-C tires on. Before you scoff at an all season tire, they are W rated and I'll never drive that fast.
The wife's Odyssey and the Subie
Side shot of the F1's so you can see a bit of the tread. They are directional, and they seem to be OK. Only a touch noisy, and decent grip. I need to put about 1000 Km on them before I can give a full verdict.

^Dude post pics of your Mazda!
I was behind a white 3.0R yesterday at a light and we were stopped on a somewhat inclined hill. When he took away, it seemed like the rear of the car kind of went down and the nose raised quite a bit..is that a suspension setting or is it normal for that car?

I definitely want more power than what I have from the 3.0, but I don't think my car is slow by any means. Now, on the Legacy GT boards, a guy in Finland has a 3.6 in his and he puts down 425 HP. And it's a daily driver.
