Don't buy the Mini EV if you need to drive in snow.

The Fast Lane Car did some simple tests with their SE showing snow performance on the stock summer tires and then with some All Weather tires Michelin sent them.

I sure hope people on here would know better than to drive in the snow or ice with the stock tires but that video really shows just how much of a difference good winter tires can make!

Almost an entire football field to stop from 25mph on the stock tires is just crazy!

Yes, thanks. Summer tires in snow don't work. It's literally in the name of the tire. If people are so ignorant that they expect different results, then that's on them. This is completely different. It's not about the car, it's about the tire.

Tommy made that point several times. He expected that any enthusiast watching the channel would know, but that at LOT of people out there think nothing of their tires until they are worn out. They just drive what the manufacturer put on there.

Very true, but worse than that is how many people drive around on bald tires. Or those accursed mini spares. I get nervous when I see those baby tires on a freeway.
