2. Never drive the F8x on snow or ice covered roads on performance tires. It sucks.
3. El Niņo year, the risk for snow and ice should be even lower than usual.
4. If you plan to drive on snow and ice and get a separate set get proper winters.

Normally if I see snow in the morning I work from home. It's the rare surprise dustings in the afternoon while I'm already at work that worry me. Had that happen in my S2000 once and I could barely keep it moving straight in the parking lot, so I'm familiar with how terrible performance tires are on ice. I have no plans to purposefully drive in those conditions this year, and I can imagine with the low end torque of the f8x it would be much worse.
Maybe with El Niņo this year I can hold off on the winters until next year. Thanks for the input!
