Message	are good except in snow, ice and in most instances, rain. Compounds are extremely hard in the cold. That's why my Z stays in the garage when it rains or snows. I have driven front wheel and rear wheel drive cars, but I have never driven one as bad as my tt in the snow. Absolutely no traction at all with "summer" tires. Maybe with some Blizzaks it might handle differently I don't know, but my 323 does well when the weather is crappy, so I will never find out.
