I'm waiting to buy a FiST or FoST when snow season ends. I see that many dealers in the upper Midwest have ST's for sale. Do they actually let people test drive these cars with Summer Tires in the middle of winter??

Are you asking about during inclement weather or any day?

​I took one for a test drive on a dry 35 degree day. Probably not the best for the tires but I had no problems with grip on the test drive. I bought it but it's been in my garage waiting for winter tires to arrive.

I apologize for the vague question. I ruined a brand new set of rims with summer tires (2002 Miata) two years ago when I found my self on a frozen over pass. The date was April 15th in Fort Wayne Idiana. I thought I knew what I was doing. The average car salesman at a new car dealership has a hard time keeping track of all the types of cars he has on the lot, and may not know there is such a thing as summer tires. I really want to buy a Fist and I usually buy separate wheels with snow tires. I'm all set with a dependable (boring) car for this winter and am driving myself nuts waiting for spring to arrive. I have yet to determine which seats will work for me. My local Ford dealer does have a Fist with the Recaro sets.
Bu I will be patient
