I invested in a set of Bridgestone snowtires last winter, as I live in CT and would never survive the winter with my 2001gt as a daily driver (took me 20 min to get out of the driveway one day with 275 nitto555's in the rear, with only like an inch or 2 of snow).
I doubt you get anywhere near the amount of snow we do...weight in the trunk is certainly the economical way to go. If you have the means i highly recomend the bridgestones, available at tirerack. I was passing suv's on the highway last night, not to mention several imports in ditches. It was quite hysterical.
Of course I could still be in 3rd gear idling at a grand, gas it and plant a beautiful snow-donut, but the option is mine as long as im careful.
