Posturing.
I'm curious why doing every mod possible to make a car go faster, turn sharper and stop better in summer is "cool" and acceptable yet to do the same in winter is not?
Whether or not it "goes to the head" (4x4 syndrome) of the driver is up to the driver however. IT IS A FACT that in snow, slush ice or just on dry cold pavement a car with winter tires will start, stop and turn better. It has been proved countless times.
Sure anyone can "get by" all year anyplace in the world on all seasons, I did for about 20 years myself, but why not do better than get by, accept more than merely OK or be happy with adequate to good performance? Why not go for great? Isn't that the point of modding cars?
Don't forget that a LX has 185mm tires as oppossed to 205's, that itself makes a huge difference.
