We've had some snow and I've been hesitant to bring out the car during the worst of it, but I have found it to be remarkable better than I originally thought it would be (Conti all season tires). I've been debating between a winter beater or snow tires and I think tires are going to win. The problem is getting the right wheel size and tire size to keep the car running correctly. I'll probably do the 18" wheels with Dunlop Winter sport tires. I had them on a Mustang once and really liked the way they worked in snow.
