I just saw a TV auto program and they told that if you go on winter tires over 90 mph for some period of time, tire gets hot and become harder (harder forever). And harder tire will work worse in snow.

Just to let you know.

Once the winter strikes the Tiburon ain't doing much!

I doubt I'd get anywhere CLOSE to 90 MPH
