Here you can find info about switching of the ESP on the 451.

But pls note ESP is there for your safety, i could only try it when you are stuck in snow or something.

Hi Rachel. I also live in Italy, (Santa Margherita Ligure) but also have a house in Madesimo SO. 1550mt which is a ski resort and only use snow tyres, these snow socks are not legal in Italy. Plus I would never think of taking my Smart to Madesimo, for me Smarts and snow don't go together especially in the mountains
Snow tires are almost a necessity here in Northern Ontario, the traction with snow tires is twice what it is with OEM "ALL-SUMMER" tires. Be safe on the road and have a set of tires for winter and summer.
100% agree.......

I live in Buffalo, NY. Plenty of snow this year......
I have 4 winter tires and, so far, no problem. I saw plenty of cars stuck on the roads when I was driving by.....
Of course, I don't try to drive in a foot or two of fresh snow.
Living here, I never thought about keeping the "all season" tires for the winter.

Bridgestone makes OEM size Blizzak snow tires that are top rated for snow and ice. I have them and like how they perform.

Dan,

Which Blizzaks are you using?

Winter driving is a challenge. Should you tackle the day with all-season or snow tires? Popular Mechanics uncovers the safer truth. Same topic here Deciding on winter versus all-season tires.
