It's better to be safe than sorry.

It specifically says on the tire and in the manual on 'summer only tires' that the tire has significantly reduced traction in colder temperatures- snow or not.

However, with proper tires driving a rwd in the snow isn't that bad. People have done it for years and Camaros have a billion safety nannies.

Thanks for the back up, hence why I'm getting all-seasons on mine for the winter.

With my s2000, I have heard that you aren't really supposed to drive with the OEM summer tires when it is colder than 40 degrees outside. I don't know if it really makes a difference though since I only drive it when it's nice enough to have the top down.
