How many of you drive the S2000 all year round, and how does it handle in the snow? I've checked google and asking around and I'm getting mixed answers. People said it slips alot, others say with winter tires its fine, and others say its okay depending on how you drive it. Does anyone have personal experience in the snow? Is it possible and would you / continue to drive it in the winter?

I have a winter beater as my primary car right now, but i REALLY want an S2000. The problem is there is already 4 cars in our 3 car garage, and one on the driveway. I could store the winter beater behind the house, but it might be troublesome, which might mean i'll have to sell it and just drive the S2000 year round. What do you guys do/suggest?

Thanks

that doesnt keep other people from sliding into you tho. I had 3 close calls this year, non were my fault, 2 of them i was sitting still at a redlight and someone behind me started to lose control. I was first in line, and got out of the way from one of them or he would have def hit me.

What winter tires work/perform the best? I've heard Dunlop's and Bridgestone Blizzaks are pretty much the best, but which one has the best grip?

For me its not about the superiority of the car, its what you can turn the car into.

Dunlop Graspic 2: (i think they are discontinued and updated with graspic 3?)
-really really really good in snow and ice. no complaints at all for winter traction.
-Really good grip in wet and dry on non snowy days.
-Soft compound, I drove kinda hard on dry days, and wore thru about half the tires in a winter/some of spring.

current setup:
Kelly snows up front:
-Inexpensive
-never had problems with front traction, but this normally isnt a problem with S's. I can say, my car has never pushed (understeered) on them.
Blizzaks on the back:
-Decent winter grip (doesnt seem as good as the dunlops)
- seem to be lasting a long time
- really slick in the spring wetness. certain concret merges (like on an overpass) takes about ~10% throttle to have the back kick a little. its almost scary slick on certain rainy days and i cant wait to get off them. im shopping for wheels/tires now.

fron experience they are...never used them on a rwd car though...and the S will never see snow so no need to get em for it

lmao he tried to make his point read properlly and still [freak]ed it up...

what you meant to say is that there are four cars in your household, with only a 3 car garage, therefor one is parked on the driveway...

I got mine in September '07. I had the top down every day except when it rained until probably mid January before it started getting a little chilly. If it is at least 45 degrees and sunny, I have the top down. At night, under 50 degrees the top is up.

But people who get a lot of snow, load the trunk and go. You will probably want to get some tires with thicker tread, maybe go with studs if you want to. The stock Michelins aren't exactly set up for snow. I used to live in NC, not really the "north" but i've driven in a foot or better of snow. FWD is fun, but RWD with some power is fun to the point of almost insanity!

I daily drive mine all year round and put blizzak LM-22's on in the winter and have no problems
