Don't get snippy with me... you are the newbie here... If you post, we are going to respond.

You wrecked your 350ZX... Clearly you were going to fast for the conditions Mr. driving in snow since I was 15. Period!

You make rediculous statements like "snow tires suck on ice with a high HP car."

We are trying to answer your question by saying Chains are not necessary, or reccomended on the STI.

Low profile chains often offer little in the way of real biting teeth. Relatively smooth metal on ice slides, not grips. Siping is designed to grab the imperfections in the surface.

Chains are not recomended for most AWD cars as they have the potential to damage the differentials, as well as other clearance issues.

I don't claim to be an ice driving expert, but I am a performance driving instructor for the Audi Quattro Club.

So far all we know about you is you spun a car on ice, and think it was because you didn't have chains... It clearly wasn't your driving...

You don't want my opinion, ignore it...
