I'm having the oem summer tires put back on asap, but I wonder if adding weight to the rear end to approach 50/50 weight distribution might not help the handling. I know it will slow the car down, burt it already goes scary fast for the kind of driving I am doing. BTW, because the clearance is so low, I won't drive on more than 3-4 inches of snow, but I didn't have a single problem all winter
