Winter tire suggestions?
I was hoping to put my '04 S , which I garaged for the winter 
, back on the road at the end of March. Due to unforseen circumstances, I'll need to put it back on the road next week. (not a bad thing 
)
Currently the tires on the stock rims are summer tires. (Potenza RE050)
You all know what kind of weather we've been having...and the forecast is showing more of the same for the next two weeks...
Do I buy new winter tires for use for the next month or so?
Do I leave the summer tires on and just drive it when there's no chance of ice/snow?
What do you think/recommend?

If you have to drive the S in the winter I would highly suggest
getting snow tires. But then again we are almost done with winter
( I hope ) so I guess you could take your chances. But just know
if it snows you'll be going no where with those tires you currently
have.

I have had set of blizzak LM22 on mine all winter.
Excellent dry grip and useful in snow...if you like rally drivin!
I take the G35x to work when it snows hard.

Find a set of used and beaten 00-03 16" wheels and slap on a set of blizzaks.
On the wife's RL, we're using the Dunlop Wintersport M3's and theyre pretty decent. Dunno if they come in S2000 sizes.

I had . They work great with a little weight in the trunk.

Find a set of 00-03 rims and get some blizzacks. The 16" will be much cheaper, plus you don't want to have to keep running to the tire shop to mount tires. You could have an extra set of wheels and do it yourself.
