snow tires are a bit too much for non-snow driven cars, imho. they squirm quite a bit due to the taller treads and they dont necessarily look all that great on a performance car to begin with. i would look for performance tires that use special soft silica or watever it was called.
Well it depends on the type of snow tire you get. The performance winter tires like the Michelin Alpins are really good in cold, dry pavement and offer light snow capability as well. Tires like the LM-25 still do pretty well in the dry but offer better light and heavy snow traction.

In any case, snow tires give up some handling, yes, but they allow you to safely enjoy your car through the winter months.
