Default S2000 in the snow

Potential S2000 owner here just wondering how it handles in the snow, with or without snow tires.

Discussed many times - snow tires are your friend and stay out of deep snow...

Thanks for the quick response, I had planned on buying snow tires with the S just because of the climate that I live in. As a followup is there anything particular about storing an S outside when it's snowing?

Find covered storage if you are going to get a serious dumping, like more than a foot. Especially if its eastern, heavy wet snow (not powder). Lot of weight on the top. Even if you have to put into a (secure) parking garage overnight.

Get a very good cover. Something heavy, meant for outdoors, meant for snow. Make sure car is very clean before you put top on. Make sure top is strapped underneath to prevent wind from moving it around and destroying your paint.

Don't plan on removing cover until its above freezing (it can freeze to car, don't try to remove then).

"Covered storage". LOL.

Garage FTW. Bring it out when the snow is gone. No car cover required.

I really appreciate the advice, unfortunately someone purchased the S2000 I was looking at so now I had to start the process all over again. That one had low miles too
