Same as Deuce, mine gets around fine - we had record snowfall last year and I never got stuck.

Last year I drove my SX around Mass. and we had a ton of snow. The car did fine, not great, but OK. Didn't get stuck, didn't crash. You'll be fine on the Goodyears, but I'll be putting Continentals on mine when I replace them in a couple of months. I have 28k miles on mine and I've got a maximum of another 5k miles before they are completely worn out.

Edmonton winter 2010 - heavy snowfall - YouTube

4" and 4' are two totally different things... Re-read the posts. 4" is of no concern. 4' and you can't even open the door.

LOL - didn't catch onto that, if it's 4' then you have problems leaving the house on foot!

It's okay, us north of the border have a dog sled handy in our Igloos right?
