Yes, this car with the skinny tires does awesome in the snow. We had record snowfall this past winter and this car totally rocked through the snow and on the icy roads. I recall being comfortable and the fastest car on the road if there was snow. It also does good on the rain, and we've had some here too. The narrow tires do indeed contribute to the lack of hydroplaning and cutting through the snow; the hand brake is a great tool in the snow and ice as well.
