tirerack.com had cheap steelies available last time I checked (email them if you don't see it on the site), get these with your winter tires so you don't have to worry about remounting etc (make sure you have a torque wrench).

FWD is only better if you don't know how to drive, AWD is only needed if you want to drive through uninhabited countryside. When I lived in the Midwest I knew several people who drove their Miatas year round with no problems.

Wintertime=winter tires
Wintertime=RWD FUN! :party0030:
