They're a touch more than she wanted to spend, but not bad at $496/set in her size. They sound like the best All-Season choice when snow traction is important. I'd really love to hear how they feel on Carrie's STi. Please post any driving impressions, especially regarding "stability feel" if there is such a thing.
I'm going to take a closer look at the Kooks for my car, Dean. Thanks.

These are the tires I have on my car right now. Cory mounted them last July-ish, and I still have at least 50% tread. I tear them up on every ramp I can, too.
They were great in the snow last winter. Never got stuck, and I tried. After it was snowing all night one night, with snow up to the mirrors, I just brushed the snow off the car and drove out of the spot, uphill, no problem. I also passed a snowplow that was spinning its wheels on the ice. I plowed some roads for him, since my car is so low
I don't have a lot of experience with many other tires, but I love the ContiExtremeContacts. I will definitely buy them again.
Edit: forgot to mention that they grip so well in the snow that when I would floor it to slide, most of the time I would just accelerate. If I did lose traction, the tires would grip again so quickly that I could smell clutch after doing that a few times in a row.
