Ok,

I live in Norway, so I'm pretty used to drive in snowy condition with RWD. (Volvo 940tic) Also, I wouldn't dream of buying cheap winter tires, so thats no problem
I also agree that both Blizzak and Hakkapelitta are good tires.

Thanks,

If you've already discounted trying to drive on the stock tyres all winter then I would say the S2000 is a good winter drive - the power is very progressive, and you don'y have to VTEC it

The Scottish S2K contingent have a hardcore of nutters who love the snow.



Buy one - you'll love it

 

So it shouldn't be any problems controlling this car in the winter then (Since I'm also a skilled driver )

 

I just completed my first winter with my S wearing Blizzaks. I tried to avoid driving in raging snow storms when possible, but did have to drive home one day after a rain to ice to sheavy wet snow event. The roads were essentially snow covered ice. I had not probs. Kept it nice and easy and was doing about 40 where I normally do about 60. The last half mile home is up a moderately stepp hill after a stop/left turn. I jsut eased it into the turn, kept the revs reasonalble and drove up the hill in a perfectly straigh line.

 

Just drove this winter on Michelin Arctic Alpins up here in the snowy Upstate NY region. No problems and due to the 50/50 balance was the best winter driver ever. If I do this next year, I might get a hardtop to preserve the softtop. The heater is excellent and even with a softtop,
I was toasty warm. GET IT NOW!

 

I drove my s2k all of last winter on bridgestone blizzacks without a problem. Just keep your revs low and don't tailgate. Use common sense and good snow tires and you'll be fine.
