Phred;

No surprise there!...You don't think a country which is 2/3s above the arctic circle would make a car that wasn't any good in winter (FWD Slaabs not withstaning)...

What kind of tires do you have on it?...For the Snow Weasel, I prefer (Dutch) Vredestein Snow+ M+Ss or (Swedish) Gislaved Frost M+Ss in 165SR-15 size, naturally all the way around, but it's been a while since I bought any (I understand the Vredesteins are no longer being imported...don't know about the Gislaveds)...and I keep a set of chains in the trunk (aint been stuck yet)...not even the New England blizzard of 1978 kept us parked...hell, we towed people on x-counrty skis from the rear door handles...Big fun!

Cheers
