Hey guys, my name's Jack. New here from a bit north of Toronto. Been browsing a bit and seems like a small but pretty cool forum with some good members. Currently driving a pretty much stock 2009 Rally Red Ralliart. Was fortunate enough to have the dealer swap the Yokohama stock tires for some Dunlop SP Sport 01 tires. Currently got on my Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 snow tires on for the fun weather we're getting already. Only swap I've done otherwise is replacing the stock BOV with a stock Evo X one but I've got a bunch of plans for the next 9 or so months. Look forward to posting with you guys in the future.

Welcome to the club. Glad you got some snow tires on. I know some crazy kids driving in the snow with summer tires. (you know who you are even though you don't post)

All-seasons? Maybe. But summers? No way. The car is squirrely enough with the winters on going around some corners (which may or may not be my fault a bit as well). If only I could be in Cali like you guys, then I'd be set.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

MTZL, I definitely know what ya mean. I've done a decent amount of driving in British Columbia before and it's a fairly similar climate. Been to Cali twice and absolutely loved it, but never got to rip around at all unfortunately.

Ralliart23, good to have a little red and white support haha. I'm up in Orangeville, so I'm lucking out with minimal snow amounts currently unlike you guys from what I hear.
