The enthusiasts from the NE mini region should have the experience to answer this question. I am considering the mini roadster s. It will be my only vehicle so I will have to navigate the NE winters. Will I be OK if I mount four good snow tires ...

 

I run snows on my 09 Cooper S in the winter. Of course you can mount snows on the Roadster S.

 

I live in CT, and drove my Mini through a few storms last winter with no problem. We didn't have a very bad winter, but when it did snow I found that the car had good traction with all-seasons and DSC/DTC. Never came close to getting stuck.

Especially with snow tires, I think you'll do just fine.
