Just stand to the side and make sure none of that piss blows back all over ya;)

On the tire choice i have no idea how a snow tire would handle,

if there just mud and snow "M+S" tyres like a lot of nankangs they shouldnt be too bad as they only get the m+s designation if the ratio of open thread to solid is more but they should have an average all season compound,whereas if there knobbly "winter" tyres theyll fall to bits as they only work properly in temperatures under 7 degrees,theyve a really soft compound with lots of silica gel

but basically all of the above would probably be shite for competetive drifting id imagine!
