Handling in Snow & Icy roads?

[TomB1952]

Hello,
We have our reservation in and the lead time I have not idea.
Just was thinking we live in Northern Nevada where in January & February the snow and ice on the roads could be very heavy.
Anyone have experience in driving the Smart Car Passion in these kind of conditions.
Thank you for your time to answer.
Tom

Oh, I got this from search Winters in MI?

I drove mine this winter in Wisconsin. I had expected to be doing non stop 360's on the highway, but I never felt it even start to slide, and I always go 5-8 mph over. I even went out and found some unplowed side roads after the last bad snow storm. Just to see how it handled big drifts and it surprised me by just sliding over them. Pretty controlled. I think the smooth under carriage helps it stay straight over the drifts. All with stock tires, Canadians say snow tires are a must. (now that I have my summer 17'' rims I'll put snows on the stock rims for next winter)

skinny tires = better traction on snow and ice
