The SVX's Wintersport M3's are pretty much done... I think the siping is toast, or maybe the rubber is just too old... this is like the 3rd winter for 'em (and one summer for that matter, oops!).

But the biggest issue is that with all the ice out there, I've swung back to thinking the AWD on that car is stuck at 90/10 and won't send power to the rear. It's just too damn easy to spin the front wheels. So before I'm stuck somewhere, or worse, snowdonkey'd, I dropped it off at Indy Auto to have them run all the Subaru diag tools on it to see what's going on with it. Ken over there seemed on the ball and not at all phased to have to deal with a '96 Leggy slushbox in a '94 SVX, so hopefully his guys will jump right on it and sort things out.
