i had toyo's on both my corsa's and never had any problems in the dry, wet, snow or ice and it never got stuck, i would say the tyres are fairly good

1 - Cold start misfire
2 - Dead ABS sensor
3 - Dead windscreen washer motor
4 - Creaky front and rear windscreens
Nothing has fallen off yet though.
10" wide rear wheels and snow don't mix either, had to turn around on the normal route home as the car wouldn't make it up a small hill in 3rd gear.

My car has managed absolutely fine, the only thing I've lost in this weather is traction

Astra hasn't moved,
Corsa has lost some splitter somewhere and spat the exhaust off at the cat twice due to mounds of ice in the middle of the road.

Hasn't moved all week till today. The ABS and traction control sensor thingy are going mad though. Had about 3 inches of pure ice to get rid of this morning.

Made it to town and back without dying or breaking anything, first time the car has been started since last Friday as well and it went first time
Went sideways round a corner down my mate's road, nearly couldn't get out of the same road and almost didn't stop for some traffic lights because of sliding on the ice, but managed to stop just on the line (or where I think the line was  )
