Reported cause
No to mention my CLK55 AMG with 364Trq in the snow, just take it easy - your only problem is clearence.

I'm running Blizzak LM-22's on my Mitsu Evo, and they're surprising-good in and out of snow.

Say, any room in the passenger seat while you're testing these various theories?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

All I can say is that I was in a parking lot one day after a couple of inches of snow just to test out my C4. I did some hard breaking, fast turns all that fun stuff. I had Dunlop Winter M2 tires on and it was unreal.... then I turned off the PSM, OMG, I was all over the place. I was able to take a quick turn and spin the car completely around, and this was with a C4.
So I believe that you would need to be super careful, even with snow tires on.

I also Drove both My 986 and 986S without PSM with Dunlops M2 Winter Sport Rubber With No Problem. No to mention my CLK55 AMG with 364Trq in the snow, just take it easy - your only problem is clearence. My 03 Targa is surprisly good in the snow, without M2 winter Sports - New Year I plan on getting a set to mount.
Say, any room in the passenger seat while you're testing these various theories? Sounds like fun, but NFW I'm driving my C2 in the snow.
No, I'm not a wimp, but in California where we're presumed idiots when driving in the snow (and frankly most of us are), hence chain control, it's illegal w/o AWD, regardless of tires, but mainly I just don't want the rock chips from that stuff they call "sand" that's spread all over snow-covered highways here.
Seriously, as long as the roads get plowed occasionally (ground clearance), you should be just fine with a set of real snow tires. I'm running Blizzak LM-22's on my Mitsu Evo, and they're surprising-good in and out of snow.
Cheers,
