Right now I have a Honda S2000 that I will be selling and picking up a gen6.
Chances are I will be doing some improvements to the Celica to increase performance. Selling the S2000 is not exactly my choice and I still want something I can throw around some twisty roads.  I have driven them before and know I will be doing some suspension work and want some good tires for them but I'm not sure if I should get a really good set of all season tires or get a set of summer only performance tires for the 17s I'm going to get and then put a cheaper set of all seasons that get decent snow traction on the stock rims for the winter? I know with the S2000 if I hadn't had a winter beater car (which is very close to death) I know I would have needed a set of heavy snow tires and a larger life insurance policy if I even thought about driving in the snow. I would assume that the Celica being FWD is better. Any imput would surely be helpfull. Thanks in advance. -Fr3AkAzOiD |

The two reasons why you want to buy winter tires:
1. No all season tires can outperform real winter tires. 2. You can have a set of real summer tires to enjoy in summer. You don't have having to stick with all season tires all year long. This post has been edited by Gary: Oct 31, 2007 - 1:55 PM -------------------- _Gary
