Like I said, it's all about the tires. Spend the extra money for another set of wheels with snow tires and keep your summer tires/wheels in the garage. Switch as necessary. I've owned nothing but sports cars, and I live in Chicago. I've never had a problem yet. My SRT-6 is currently wearing Pirelli Snowsport 240 performance winter tires. I do miss the warm weather and the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s though!
