I figured it was a bad idea because dad has advertised in that magazine and been in the show for many years and I wouldn't have wanted to mess up that relationship. Now if the situation had been different...

Nope... It has been out a couple of times this winter after a road cleaning rain.. of course the roads were dry

I have to admit that snow tires have been thought about on more than on occaision.

Yes, daily driver, through all the elements, and especially snow and salt

.

I have no choice!

Snow tires, (Blizzaks) are very helpful, plus, I like keeping the salt off my summer "good" wheels.

Yup, year round on (so far) stock performance all seasons. We don't get much snow here on the GUlf Islands. But since it's very hilly (we live up a 1 mile switchback "hill") it can get nasty.

When it does, the MINI stays safe in the garage and my wife's Subaru Impreza does it's amazing stuff.
