With winter tires, the Mazda MX-5 can handle just fine
Despite its reputation for handling, without winter tires, the Miata doesn’t handle snow very well. Even though all-weather tires might get you through the winter on your AWD SUV or your FWD sedan, it’s not enough for the Miata. However, if you get four winter tires for your Miata, you can expect to keep that signature Miata handling, even on snow-slicked roads.
It’s important to get all four winter tires, as the Miata is a very lightweight vehicle with a 50/50 weight distribution. Making sure that the little weight the Miata has is making it to the road is imperative. Drivers need to remember that the Miata is still a RWD car, so cautious driving in inclement conditions is a must. The Miata’s low ground clearance means that you should avoid snowdrifts whenever possible, no matter how shallow they look.
