The 8 with my snow tires!
Got my Rx8 about a month ago and got snow a few days after. It was pretty scary drifting and sliding everywhere on the 18"s and OEM rubber. It was really dangerous
I ended up getting some Hankook Ipike W409s last weekend. I figured a lot of people have the Blizzaks so I went out on a limb and tried something that's not used very often. I read somewhere that they were basically Nokian knock-offs
My drive to work was awesome! the car felt like it was glued to the ground. No spinning or drifting, even at high speeds on twisty roads.
here are some pics

Well 9k, fortunately the snow in those pictures melted somewhere around 4 years ago.
