Default S2000 and Snow

How would an S2000 be in the snow with snow tires? Would I be able to get to and from work if needed in the snow?

This one is in the snow:

I've run two winters on Dunlop Wintersport M or something close to that name on my S2000. They are great. I have had no problems getting to and from work in Chicago winters.

I'm really surprised at how well they do. Snow tires have come a long way from the last ones I bought in the early 80's.

thats great to hear. What size were they and how much were they? Did you mount the on your stock rims and buy aftermarket rims for the summer or did you buy some cheap rims for the winter?
