Joe,

When you locked 'em up, did all 4 lock? If so,
ABS wouldn't kick in, it doesn't know you're
still moving....

BTW, congrats on the Evo. Cool car, and quite
the sled, Swedish hookers are optional....

Just as a FWIW on tires, contact patches, braking,
ABS, blah, blah, blah...
Two winters ago, when I had my 18x* Fuchs w/Pirelli
Snowsport 210's and went on a spirited drive, I was
surprised at how the brakes did lock up in comparison
to the higher threshold I experienced with the
255/40/17 S-03's.  Yup, locked em up and ABS didn't
kick in at all.
