I'd say get the Blizzacks for winter, find a friend or family member that can hold on to your RE050s for you, or rent a storage place.

That's if you're new to the car.

 

I drove a frigid Boston winter with S02's, but would recommend snow's if at all possible. If there's even a slight dusting of snow, the S02's are useless, but on plowed roads, the car is driveable, but not in a sporting way in any means.

Some tire places will store you off season tires if you buy a set of tires from them. I'd be weary of swapping tires and look for a set of used wheels with snows. There's been several posts, and maybe you can find a friend's house to store them at?

 

if you've got s-02's on your S, then i'd watch for low temperatures, even on dry roads. these tires harden-up like nothing i've ever driven on before.

 

Yeah, snow has little to do with the S-02's problems, it's the cold weather. Once temps drop into the 50's, turns become more of a slide.

 

snow tires are a must for thes2k in driven in winter, the SO-2's or RE-050's for the MY04 quickly lose traction in snow, the snow just fills up in the tread.. which is not a good thing...
invest in some good snow tires (Blizka LM's) and you wont have to worry about traction loss as much
