That video shows an Elio driving over a well plowed road. I am talking about trying to forge a path through 12 inches of snow. This is all conjecture on everybody lambasting me about how great the Elio will handle with skinny tires, seeing that none of you have ever actually driven it in deep snow. I do plan to get the fenders with wider wheels on the front. Wider to me equates to more stability and better grip/surface area on the pavement. Everyone will have differing views on this. To each his own.
