You mean the Nitto 555's ? Well, if their anything like my S-03's, you wont be going anywhere. I got stuck in the snow with them and ended up having to be towed home.

It depends on how much snow were talking here. Ide say to get a set of all season tires. Like BFG's KDWS tires. They should give you traction in light/medium snow amounts. However, if its anything serious(more than a few inches), you aint going to move without snow tires or chains.

If you dont go out in bad snow, then just get a set of all-season tires. Then, save up for a spare set of wheels and DR's for when you want to go play. After theese purchases, just have a beer and call it a day.

I wouldn't want to try it, but with the storm we just had, they'll clear the roads pretty quick. You guys get alot more rain than us anyway. If you can, just stay off the roads for a few days.

I don't know what nitto's are like brother, but if they are like the friggin Kuhmo's I have....HAH! This is not a fun experience with solid axle mustangs and no damn snow tires. I have to drive like a grandma in the snow and that still has caused me to slide. Be careful!!!!!!!
