1. Okay fair enough but I don't think 5 failed starts in a 2014 is okay, never had this issue before with multiple cars/brands.
2. You obviously haven't driven these conditions because in the last two years I would say Missouri has had a ton more snow/ice.You just are assuming Colorado has a lot more snow/ice which actually isn't true.
3. Again you are making a lot of assumptions, lets take it from me to the car. You seem to be defending something just because without proof. You don't know what I have driven in or through yet you are making great proclamations. Honestly it is people like you that will make me want to never drive a Subie again "well that guy just must have been a shit driver" while every week there is some STI guy who curbed their car. Seriously, give me the benefit of the doubt.
   
4. Yes I'm absolutely sure and have the paperwork for it.
   
5. I agree, I don't skimp on tires which is why I bought good ones after Subaru screwed me on skimpy ones, why are we having this conversation? Seriously look at the reviews on stock tires.
   

Honestly after our talks you have no idea oh what you are talking about. If you wish to cone over I'll show you all the paperwork and POs. Seriously you have no idea what you are talking about, put those same Birdgestones on your subi and see how it performs. You haven't been helpful one bit you just constantly criticize the driver despite a perfect driving record in heavy snow/ice with multiple vehicles. No matter what i would say you would attribute it to driver error which sucks. It could literally be Schumacher posting and you would tell him he is a crappy driver, without all the facts.
