Who is driving his S this winter through the snow?

Seeing these photos of S2k in the snow and sleet and ice makes me cringe! Something I would never consider doing up here in the snowy north. Not to mention the disgusting amount of salt they put on the roads, getting into every nook and cranny of the car and rotting it out. Hell, my car has never even seen rain!

That leads me to ask, how many of you will be piloting your S's through the snow this winter? What tires will you drive on, and how many of you like to attempt drift shenanigans in the snow?
We have been doing that for the last 14 years. We usually go through the winter in blizzak lm-22s. I don't think they make those anymore.
This is the first time we are going through the winter in potenza 970as. They are doing fine so far.
Seriously, beggars can't be choosers. If you really want to drive the S in the snow, don't complain too much as long as you are actually moving and staying alive

1. Didn't work for me when I tried my new Michelin A/S on and 1 inch of snow, put my Blizzaks on next day!
