Thanks guys. I actually was reading up on VX KAT's stuff and decided I wanted the Cooper Zeon LTZs. I found an evenly worn set with 18,000 miles on them for just $100. They still look like they have great tread life on them. I should get them on next week hopefully. I believe those are M+S rated, right? Anyone have any experience with the Zeon in snow? I'm so excited for winter. I've been running a Subaru Impreza the past 3 or 4 years and we bundle up, grab tow straps and go cruise the backroads every time we'd get a good snowfall. I really enjoy just pulling random people out of ditches. My problem with the Subaru though became a lack of ground clearance and just not enough power coming from the 2.2 horizontal 4. I'm expecting quite a bit out of the VX from what I've read so far. I just haven't seen it myself yet. CAN'T WAIT!!!!
