Well winter time is here and sadly I have to freeze my balls off for the next couple of months.

Should I reflash my car with the 93octane tune and turn off the water/meth or keep the sucker on with my 94octane custom tune???

Most windshield washer solution for winter contains methanol. The more methanol, the less likely it will freeze.  So, you can do whatever you wish. Cooler air will also keep your intake air cooler in normal non-W/M spray conditions, so the tune won't give you any adverse affects.

I'm using a 50/50 mix of distilled water and methanol.

I was just wondering if it was pointless to have a meth system when it will be freezing cold up here.

All depends on how well your tires hook up in cold conditions.

Or... Maybe you could use studded tires or chains...LOL  Lake Ice Racing is a hoot!!!
