If you're going to drive the S in snow, use some actual snow/ice tires. I've been daily driving mine through Cleveland winters a few years now. "All season" tires won't do squat in actual snow.

All seasons are worthless in real snow. I drove my S2000 turbo'd through a few winters as a DD with snow tires. I did skip the studded option so I could still run it on the dyno though! (They're why I have multiple guys on my trunk trying to get traction on my 443 whp dyno run- video on Google Video) A turbo S2000 with snow tires is ridiculously fun in the winter.

Let me put it this way, when we got over 3" of snow or any ice, the S2000 was the car I drove. My Monte Carlo (FWD) had good all seasons, but they are NO match for snow tires on the S2000.
