When I had my previous Celica's they went out in all weather.

The GT4 was truely awesome though. I managed to drive it up a single carriageway track to the car park on top of a local hill which was a good 8-10" deep in snow. That was using general purpose Goodyear Eagle F1's.

Now I have the Mondeo and after the major snow of last year I bought a set of winter tyres that I ran from November until mid Feb when the weather started warming up to over 7 degrees. Unfortunately I don't have a 2nd set of wheels so I have to transfer the tyres over but it works OK. I found the winter tyres gave good performance in the low temperatures, even though they only saw 1 day of very light snow the whole time they were on.
