whats snow? i live in the southern california DESERT! :oops:

 

I live in the desert now too, but I'm from NY originally and used to live in VT, so I know snow! The TRAC is pretty useful though, even on wet roads. All you have to do is it the switch to turn it off and try driving on a wet or icy road for a while without it and you quickly see what a help it is.

xB driver here, but I love the xA's and I applaud Toyota for making the RS with some extra goodies like TRAC. Very cool and I love the red color.

 

Just spent 3 days with cables on my xA. I'm sure it will hurt my mpg, since I never drove over 25 mph with them on. Took them off today but they are calling for more snow. This is one reason I don't plan on lowering my car. Until the road got plowed I was nearly high centering in places but the car did great even though the snow was about 1.5' deep. Hated the vibration on my new car when having to go from ice to clear pavement on the third day so removed the cables. I still have the stock Eagle LS tires on stock rims and plan on leaving it that way, atleast until I wear the tires out. Car seemed to do fine after removing cables. Of course I drive sensable and use caution when going from dry pavement to ice. No complaints about the car or the tires yet.
