• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Welcome to the party. What color are you getting?

From my experience last year I can say it does very well even on the stock all seasons. You will not have a problem getting going or turning. I would say the biggest issue you will find is in braking, where the weight of the car becomes very apparent. I found myself sliding to a stop often. So in short it's great un snow, but get snow tires

I currently have 18s with all seasons but these will become my winters and I'll get 19s for summer. I've ridden on sport/summer tires on my STi the past two winters (not the smartest idea) so these all weathers should be a bit of a step up :D. I do appreciate the braking advice, I almost forgot how heavy the car is and how long it would take to stop.
 
Was that any of you ladies and/or gentlemen I saw in the blue gt on 84 east?
