Default Winterizing the S2k.

I live in Cincinnati. We have snow.

Now, can I straight up put Blizzaks on the S2k and survive the winter, or are there other matters which I should address to make sure I dont die this winter.

My s2k is my daily driver obviously.

Thanks!
-Rob

Good studded tires + common sense = winter survival. Good luck.

In response to that, my suggestion would be, rather than spend money on winter tires, a hard top, or any other products, and put up with snow, salt, and other winter elements hitting your S2k, why not pick up a winter beater for $500 or so?

Yes that would be the best thing to do.

mostly definetly...winter beater = not having to deal w/ the hassle of retrofitting the s2, then taking it off months later, and not having to worry about the salt n' shiet as well.

the car can be driven in snow, soft top and all. All you really need is some decent winter tires. If you have aftermarket wheels, put winter tires on the stockers and you're set.
