my advice is get a winter car, cause not matter what tires you put on it, the s2000 is not a winter car.

saying the S2000 is no good in winter is like saying the S2000 is no good on a track. if you know how to drive in winter and have the right tires, it's a GREAT winter car. (oddly enough, the same statement is applied to the track scenario)

I'm running the m3 snow tires, they did great.

Just because you're running the wrong equipment or don't know what you are doing doesn't mean the s2k can't run in the snow. Don't make generalized statements because YOU can't.

I can't run a mile 5 minutes, doesn't mean someone else can't


You should see Xviper's snow pictures, then go tell him he shouldn't be doing that.

Just lovin' life! I won't lie though, I am glad mine is tucked away under its cover in a warehouse. I miss it terribly though, I've been thinking of getting a set of winter wheels/tires for it.

Check out the "for sale" forum on this board for AP1 wheels if you decide to go that way--there's usually one or two sets for sale there all the time and the prices will be better than you'll find most anywhere else

s2000 with blizzaks is all you need. i drive all winter and have no problems. i try to stay off the highways and just use surface streets when theres a lot of snow.

i think the error exists between the seat and steering wheel. I drive my car year round in wisconsin winters, with Nokian RSi's, and I dont have a SINGLE problem. Even my fiancee, who is newer to stick shift and RWD doesn't have troubles with those tires. to say the S2000 isn't a winter car, IMO, is exactly the opposite. I've never had more fun in winter with a car!!
110%;bad connection between seat and steering=trouble.!!!
But better be safe than sorry.!!!
