No sports brakes, just the base model here. Will roll with your guys input, appreciate the help. Don't plan on driving it all the time in the winter, just when I'm in a pinch (car pooling, and my friend drives winter), but read about the horrific handling with performance tires, so may need to drive a week or two throughout the winter (blizzaks will probably dry-rot before I need to replace them).
Thanks again, I'll post up results later this winter.
