Default Winter 'Vette?

Do any of you drive your 'Vette in the winter? If so, what tires and other modifications do you recommend to make it possible?

Not trying to hijack, but I have a very similar question--how do Pilot Sport All Season RFs compare to the stock Pilot SS RFs? TIA.

I run Michelin Pilot A/S 3 tires in the cold weather. The Pilot S.S. tires stop hooking around 50 degrees and become really dangerous at 40. The A/S 3's are good for any weather except snow. Might as well be driving a 5 wheel office chair.
