If your 123 was scary on snow you have a tire problem, imho. They are very well balanced. Add a hundred pounds in the trunk and only 4x4s will beat you off the line.
IN snow, of course skinny tires with good tread work the best and those low profile very wide tires which grip so well on dry pavement? They are the worst on snow or water. Weight over the drive wheels and good tread are the keys.
