I had a RWD almost 400 saloon not too long ago, and found it wasn't the car that was killing the joy, but it's safety systems that you couldn't properly turn off.
If I had a GT86 and a drop of snow, I'd be having a whole tulip load of fun in it.Comment

On snow, you want narrow tyres, not low profile, as you want as much weight going into as small a contact area as possible; watch the loonatics in Finland close hand, and that's what you'll see on their cars, most not studded as well.
If you let out the air, you give more contact area, and a whole tulip load more understeer too.
If you had winter tyres on a FWD car, you'd not appreciate anymore understeer as normal, in fact it would make the car more pointy, with more front end grip. So if you didn't have winter tyres on the rear, you'd be in a hedge, or a bonnet decoration on a Volvo Tipper truck...Comment

As for winter tyres, they're okay on the snow but on ice they're just as lethal as normal tyres. I remember in the AMG coming up to a bend one night, slowly naturally, and turning the steering wheel but the car just continued straight on.
