In Reply To	IMO, unless you're running snow tires, its a bad idea. posted by BigTDogg (MA) on September 20, 2005 at 09:02 PM
Message	I never had any problems driving mine through some pretty bad snows and winters on all-season tires when I was in West Virginia. I think a lot of it comes down to experience, patience, and feedback from the car. But I grew up driving in the snow covered mountains for years before I owned the Z, so there is a lot to be said for experience. Of course, my car is a 2+2 NA as well. I don't think I would feel comfortable taking a TT out in the snow--at least not without proper snow tires.
