I plan to. I will drive something else during a storm but otherwise is should be no big deal. i have a set of T/A AS tires which are very good in the wet, but don't know about snow yet. Probably find out tonight!!

i heard it's gonna snow this weekend.
my exp told me, "daily drive" it's too dangerous to drive on snow. unless u got snow tires. but still why risk.
plus i got an suv at home.
i guess it's time to wash my baby and cancel the insurence. sk2 is not made for drift nor on any icey road.

for ppl who wanna try drift with s2k. i prefer u spend 2500 to buy 240z to practice drift.

S2 is more than fine on the snow, trust me. I would say more than half of the owners in Ontario drive their S in the winter. And TO is snowed in 6 months in a year.

I don't think it is dangerous at all if you know how to drive. Ive seen more SUV crash in the snow than the S with proper snow tires.

I drove today! I washed my baby and put snow tires on last weekend!

I went with Dunlops b/c I wanted to go with a V rated tire.

Is it fun? No
Is it possible? Yes

If there's snow, I will plan for the bus or a ride.
I have FK452, wider than stock, and do not want to buy snow tires...
But if I am forced to drive this in the snow, I am ready and capable.
