My SC300 is parked for the winter. But my SC400 is ready for winter drifting duty, with Dunlop SP Wintersport M3's.

Nice dog! It's crazy how the 92-95 Civic HX can get 50 MPG, and the CX can hit 41 MPG. Yet they discontinue that engine. I mean were talking 20 year old cars getting better mpg then most of the cars on the road right now. I might pick up a HX tomorrow! Cheap too, and it's 5 speed, but has a stalling problem. We'll see how it goes, first snow fall today...drove my SC a little bit...definitely need new tires if I don't get the beater. Would be great to take the SC off the road so I can do my audio install over the winter, nice and slow, no rush hack job crap.

I got my SC400 to use as a winter beater.

But when the weather is really really bad, we take my wife's Jeep. Lifted, limited slip rear end, armored underneath, and 31" tires. And some pink stuff...

For those who use their SC during the winter months what snow/ice tires do you use?

I have Dunlop SP WinterSport M3's. I've had them for the last 3-4 seasons now, and use them from December-March. Still have solid tread, and grip like a champ.
