I'm Looking at a 2004 RX-8, but not sure if I should buy it.
I'm looking at a 2004 RX-8 but I am having a tough time making my decision. My only drawback is that the RX-8 is a RWD. I live in central Illinois so we do get some snow and I would have to drive my 8 year round. I currently drive and 04 Jeep Wrangler which does excellent in all weather, I just love the looks of this 8 and it come with way more luxuries than my jeep. Any suggestions?

As far as I know, All season tires do not exist, and I have not found on any of the tires or websites here in EU that they have those tires. The common mistake which people make is about that type of tires, they see M+S and think that's all season, when it actually means mud + snow.
Anyway, it is a good recommendation that you have a set of summer, and winter tires on all 4 wheels, . That winter tires can last you very long because you will only use them on winter seasons. Don't worry about winter and rwd, that stories are the past. Tonight I was driving my fwd Escort, winter tires on all wheels, and I was going about 80 km/h when the new BMW 3 series just passed me by before a curve, I thought it would just turn him out, but no way, he was going like hell.
Good winter tyres and a sense for the road, and you'l have no problems at all

i drove through a big storm in chicago and then on the blue ridge parkway for about 25 to 30 miles on ultra high performance summer tires in the snow... it was a little slippery, but i didnt have any problems really... stopping is the biggest thing... but under power, the back end is pretty stable surprisingly... just know your car, know how it handles, and know how to correct slides... you will be ok
