MINI SNOW DRIVING
 
I have never driven my MINI in the snow. I would not think it was a good snow car as for ground clearance.Can anyone tell me how the MINI is in the snow.I make trips to New York.

Mini's are great in snow ... If you are constantly going to be in snow invest in snow tires ... but just passingthru the all seasons are OK ...

RE: MINI SNOW DRIVING
 
I have been driving in deep snow all week. Works better than most cars. After the first snow, it plowed under the drifts in my driveway, and I couldn't see anything for a few secs. But it just keeps going no matter what. The original tires were not too great in snow but my replacement Bridgestones all weather tires work great

I have driven mine for 2 winters without a problem. Car had extra set of rims when i bought it so i had the dunlop winter tires put on. they are excelent. the only thing that holds the car back is the lack of weight. If you go sideways you keep going.
