MeanGreen's post showed me I skipped the snow question -
Get rid of the stock Good-for-a-Year tires - they're not good in rain or snow. Losta folks up North have base-model 15" steel wheels for winter because:
15" wheels and tires are much cheaper than 17"
Keeps the salt from attacking the 17" alloys
a narrower tread is better for snow
Unless you get tons of snow, you'll be fine with good tires - just follow my cardinal rule of snow driving - do everything gradually - accelerating, steering, and braking - do them all slowly and you'll be fine. I had no problem with either of my PTs in snow - they got better when I replaced Goodyear with Michelin....
