Obviously there is going to be a traction issue. AWD and RWD are totally different when it comes to applying power to the ground. Obviously.

But its the same when its raining, you just cant romp down into it every chance you get.

People do drive their S2000's in the winter. They've usually got winter tires (Blizzak's, Nokians, etc.) and have had no problems. It is my belief that you can drive any car with snow tires.

Personally, I just stored my car during the winter. People around here are way too stupid driving in the snow and I didn't want to chance some idiot running into me.

I did have an E30 325is with snow tires. Did great. RWD is fun in the snow.

can you drive it in the winter, yes.

is it a good idea, not really.

if you change the tires and take your time your ok. you wont be able to get around good in heavy snow though. i drive mine all year round, but not when snows on the ground or falling. once they plow the roads though, thats a different story.
