Me too (on wheels). I found it incredible how much a little ice could cause such huge vibration. Scared me so bad that I pulled into a local garage in the town I was travelling through to make sure my wheel wasn't going to fly off. I had no clue what the vibration was but 30min of melting and a quick rinse eliminated it altogether. I suppose you could try spraying some silicon spray or on the axle and boot to make it more slippery...

Welp nevermind. Despite what some of the online fitment-VIN verifiers claimed, I don’t think these will on a R wagon. After looking at some install pictures the arm it attaches to is different on my R and I don’t see how it would work.
