I thought it was just a one off but the next year I saw the same Camaro still on Cup 2's parked the same area. So even tho I wouldn't do it, it can be done.
i drove my 944 turbo one day in winter with hankook RS3s, and i drove my mr2 spyder in light snow with Dunlop Z1 star specs, back in the day when those were the hot tires.

i would not recommend. 944 was sideways while engine braking (just a lift), the mr2 was never not side ways.

winter is not to be ****ed with. proper winter tires are the only solution IMO.
