All due respect but I would think those would be major consideration in a winter beater.
YMMV

I drove my 99 Miata for 4 years year round. It was a good winter car but got stuck a couple of times . I had Blizzaks and the traction was good but once the snow depth got to the bottom of the car it was pretty much all over. . A couple of years ago a man and his daughter were driving in winter conditions here and he got in to an accident which killed his daughter. Apparently he did not have winter tires. I see you have them which is a plus. I agree with the above the Miata is not the most visible car around. Cars just seem to drift into your lane as if you were not there.
Yep that is a great find!
