Woo Hoo! Snow!.... not
My snow tires have actually been on for the last 3 weeks. I suppose this year I was a bit over prepared. Hardtop is on as well so I'm good to go.
Haven't tried the Kumho's but I love my LM22's. Kal Tire was the best price for me on the LM22's when I bought them back in 03.

daym, winter driving in an S?!
In fact, some of us grew up with RWD cars and drove these all winter before people of this continent became numbed by FWD cars.
I've driven my Vettes and Mustangs as daily winter drivers. The S2000 is an even better winter car. It's not the car. It's the driving ability of the operator and the ability of the owner to know how to equip it.
Here's a thread where we play with our S2000s in the snow and ice:

Winter driving in a big city can be depressing and terribly dull. Driving an S2000 makes it that much more tolerable.

I am going with the Kumho KWs on Saturday, at least $100 less per tire than the Blizzak LM-22s. I think Contemporary Motorsports has better prices for them than anywhere around.
i bought my KW's from www.customauto.ca
really good price... ill go home and find out how much i paid at lunch

Made it home on the night it snowed. The S02s can handle slush alright. Compact snow was another story, good thing I didn't stop or getting started would have been a problem.

You must be new around here. Many of us have been driving our S's for several winters on a daily basis.

With your chinooks and milder winter weather I would even consider driving the S out in Alberta... but in Winnipeg its a different story!
I've driven in stuff like this:

Oh, and this was one of the "nicer" days:
BTW, there are S2000s being driven throughout the winter in both Winnipeg and Toronto.

Your Blizzaks are worn? Didn't we get ours at the same time? Mine still have plenty of tread left.

The price I got from CMS for the Kumho KWs are $150 for 225/50/16. That price includes mounting and balance. That is $100 less than a Blizzak LM-22 in the same size.

Oh, I wouldn't brag too much yet.......the sun should be gone for you for the most part until March any time now!

Oh, and after bragging about the nice weather yesterday, I noticed this morning that the mountains have snow on the top of them.
Shit, I forgot I talking to Prairie-folk.
