I tried the sand bags in the back during the first part of the year and ended up with a car that kept diving to the side (the back end would yank) on a hard shift. Very disconcerting. Took them out and it went away. Not sure if it was a function of tread squirm, tire pressure, alignment or something else but it was pretty bad.

I might be able to sell you my winter setup, depending on when/if I buy a winter beater for next year. Are you wanting to buy winter wheels/tires immediately or in time for next year? I don't plan on buying a beater for a while yet but once I do, my winter wheels and tires (two sets of tires, one set of wheels) will be up for sale.

I also have a full set of winter tires for the S2000 that I don't particularly need, in 17" sizes. My current set still has decent tread. I paid $500 for them and will give them to you for the same price (I haven't used them yet). They're Blizzaks that are barely used, 215/45/17 front and 225/45/17 rear, I believe (would have to double check later tonight, when I'm home).

I might fly back home to Edmonton to grab the s2000 and drive back to Manitoba until I finish my course, they are forecasting 24 degrees this week!
