Without snow tires or excellent all season tires a miata will provide a

most terrifying ride.  Before getting my snows, just a slight amount of

snow cover caused major panics and warrented a quick snow tire purchase.

After placing my snows on, I now have the traction to climb Mt. Everest!

(perhaps an exageration)



You can get good deals on snow tires through the TIRE RACK.

Unless you enjoy lots of stress, elivated heart rates, and white

knuckles...you'll want to get some grippy tires :)
