Dedicated winter and summer tires or compromise? Options

[Fr3AkAzOiD]

Right now I have a Honda S2000 that I will be selling and picking up a gen6.

Chances are I will be doing some improvements to the Celica to increase performance.
Selling the S2000 is not exactly my choice and I still want something I can throw around some twisty roads.

I have driven them before and know I will be doing some suspension work and want some good tires for them but I'm not sure if I should get a really good set of all season tires or get a set of summer only performance tires for the 17s I'm going to get and then put a cheaper set of all seasons that get decent snow traction on the stock rims for the winter?

I know with the S2000 if I hadn't had a winter beater car (which is very close to death) I know I would have needed a set of heavy snow tires and a larger life insurance policy if I even thought about driving in the snow.

I would assume that the Celica being FWD is better.

Any imput would surely be helpfull.
Thanks in advance.

definatly get winters and a seperate set of summers. I a set of stickey Toyo's on my 16"s for the summer and perelli winters n my stock rims for the winter. I would definatly go with a set of winters. In the spring i put my summer tires back on my car a bit prematurely. I was driving from my house to my parents houe about 3.5hours and got caught in a freak snow storm. i went from doing 100km/h to about 60 km/h trying to keep the car straight. And that was on a set of "all season" falken tires. Definatly go with some winter tires. Especialy if you get a GT, your gonna spin the tires pretty easily.
