A Corvette will never be a great winter car due to the width of the rear tires, but with winter tires, it should be at least capable. I daily drive an ‘06 Cayman S in MN (with a set of dedicated winter tires), and it’s generally fine as long as the snow is under 4" or so. It’s worse than my former E46 M3, though,…

They do everything okay. They’re not as good as dedicated winter tires in the winter or dedicated summer tires in the summer.
