Appreciated. I had the S02s on snow once. That was a very interesting experience, and not one I'd like to relive. Dry winter driving only.

You aren't going to get the kind of performance from the Contis and Mi tires but you will get the safety of being able to handle some snow.

I have the BFGs on my 88 3.4 targa, and I don't like them. I feel like they have a very nonlinear and delayed response when cornering. I would recommend the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 as a better option than the BFGs, and a bit lower cost option from the Bridgestone S007. It's a great tire.
