993 C4 in snow?

Do any of you C4 owners drive your cars in the winter? How are they with dedicated winter set-ups (winter wheels/tires as well as summer sets for spring/summer/fall). Obviously nothing is good on ice, and the cars ARE low... but other that that... can a C4 be driven year around competently? Sorry for all the questions! Thanks in advance!

I ran my C4 year around in Missouri. I ran Pirelli P210 M&S on 17" cup wheels in the winter. It performed like a champ, provided <6" of snow. Don't be afraid

Im sure they can be driven all year round with no problem! My 996tt was pretty bad, i was also slammed on stock pirelli's though. What happened with the M3 Joey, you better still be getting it

Winter driving is all about the tires. Mount a good set of snows and you'll have no issues.
