Hey guys, I have owned my mini for about 2 months now, I am debating a road trip in November to Mi then to Pa. I am from the north and can drive in the snow but how does this car handle snow?? especially with these little low profile tires? any input is greatly appreciated.

Riccimini, I found this online. It may pertain to your question. Toward the end of the review it talks about snow driving. If you have DSC, you may be good. Especially if you are a Yankee like me - I love the snow!

Just pay attention to what tires you have and what their capabilities are... summer tires are DANGEROUS on snow or ice... even a little bit - they're not made to stick on it... some "all season" tires are OK, others aren't so good... you can check the ratings on your tires at tirerack.com. For more than a little snow, real snow tires make a huge difference.

But, given appropriate tires for the conditions, the MINI is VERY capable in the white stuff. :)
