What do you call summer tires? I figured mitsu was smart enough to put all season tires on the ("ralley inspired") car but I guess not. Never had special tires, never had an issue. If my 1800 pound, skinny tired car drives fine, most others will do fine.

Guess AWD wasn't enough to give the EVO traction on asphalt, had to go with sticky tires??? Doesn't make sense to me but I suppose there is some reason for it. I will have to check his tires next time I see them.
