Figures, the weather goes from 30* to 60* overnight, well either way, I am ready to tackle some snow.

$705 package from discount tire direct.

I have to say, under normal driving conditions you can really feel the flex of the sidewall.

April cant come fast enough!

yup. If you hadn't installed snow tires, blizzard.

edit- I picked up the same size package from Tire Rack, but with Dunlop Wintersport 3D tires. They get at least 90-95% the traction of any other snow tire, but dry cornering is still surprisingly responsive.

At least it's a good thing right? It's like when I drive with snow chains in the trunk I never need it. The few times I don't have those chains, I actually need it..

WinterSport 3d are definitely a better choice for a sports car. I have a set on my S2000. Fantastic tires in the white stuff, very good in warm/dry "normal" conditions as well :)
