WATCH: How Well Does The C8 Corvette Perform In The Snow? You Are AboutTo Find Out

A couple of decades ago, the idea of driving a mid-engined supercar in the snow would have been crazy. As this video shows, however, the new C8 Corvette Stingray can be driven in the snow with very little worries.

The Corvette in question is owned by a YouTuber and Chevrolet dealership salesman in Canada and is rolling on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. These are not the type of tires you want when driving in the snow but seem to work fine with the Corvette as long you don’t forget what type of car you’re driving.

Welcome to Spring in Canada. I have witness 3ft of snow on Easter Week. It isn't really over until June. And even in June I can remember a bike ride on a 5C day. Crazy.

Crazy to drive on those tires with any temperature below freezing, let alone in snow.... I have these same tires on my BMW M3 (between 4/1 and 12/1) and would never consider attempting to drive in the snow on them- big mistake. Now most RWD/front engine cars with good weight balance (it's actually better than 50/50 with something heavy in the BMW trunk) will drive just fine in snow with proper winter tires, not all seasons. Traction and stability control and manual transmission help too. Now take the mid-engine C8 and add winter tires and I'm sure it will handle remarkably well, provided it's not deeper than the lower edge of the front spoiler.

What is this "snow" thing you mention? It is going to be in the 70's next week in Los Angeles.
