I picked up some Michelin all seasons that did just fine last winter. The good new is that being in Stoneham, you're right next to both 93 & 95 so that most of the major roadways will be relatively cleared for you. You'll really just have to watch for ice and avoid hills with red lights.
For some people, buying and insuring a winter beater can get too costly. My loan requires that I maintain comprehensive insurance at all times on my car, so I wasn't going to entertain paying for full insurance for two cars (beater and Z) and invested instead in some Blizzaks.

Just an FYI you don't need full coverage on both cars just the camaro. In fact if you get a beater you might lower your payments as the camaro can be listed as a "part time" or "weekend" car and they will lower the rate since it's driven less. (even if it's not, but with a winter car it still kinda gets less mileage)
As for tires. Most have no problems with good winter rubber. Anyone with factory RS summer tires will need to change. They suck when it gets cold out. Let alone in the snow!
