How does the corolla handle snowy conditions? We only get a few snowfalls every year but I may wish to go out to the mountains on occasions. Will the front wheel drive hadle these occasions ok or should I get chains or cables just to be on the safe side?
looking to experience my first snow as well, so this would be good to know. . .chicago driver. . .snow can get pretty bad out here, but have not driven car in snow yet. . .what the consensus?
I know that tires have alot to do with how the car handles in wet and snowy conditions, so I went to look at the reviews of the tires that are on the vehicle, Goodyear Eagle LS. Not very good at all on most occasions. Haven't driven in the rain yet so if they handle as bad as some say they do, I may end up replacing them before long but we will see.
Never really had a problem with my 93, has Goodyear Nordic's on it now, in the winter. And my friend, she has a 2010 Rolla, with Michelin XIce's on it, and she has never had a problem either. To give you an idea of the kind of conditions we drive through, we live in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. There's a lot of snow.
This will be my third winter in Minnesota with my corolla and it seems to do phenomenally in the snow and ice. Had the stock goodyear tires on it the last two winters and never really had a problem. Have never gotten stuck or had an accident.
I just put on new high performance all-season tires this summer that are supposed to do better than the stock goodyears so we'll see.

All-season tires are only meant for occasional light snow at best, if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow you had better invest in a set of winter tires.

I am very happy with our rolla's performance in the snow but we also have studded snow-tires on it. I like sliding around a corner quickly and have the VSC kick in... sounds festive. But it controls very well.
in North Carolina, you should be just fine with all season tires. It really doesn't snow there and if its substantial, the whole city just shuts down.
i live in MD and with the snow we got last year, I ran ok with my all seasons. my biggest problem was ground clearance with a lowered car. but yea, even the best set of tires won't help you if the snow piling up is pushing your car in the air.
