"I have yet to try the Eurovan with snow tires, and
wouldn't be surprised if it gets down the road withoug getting stuck since
it is much
higher and should clear those high spots."
I think you will be amazed at the difference, it is all about ground
clearance. About 15 years ago, I had a '89 turbo Plymouth Minivan. I never
measured the ground clearance, it was significant, it would pull out of just
about any amount of snow. That was with just M&S tires. Not to mention that
carrying 1/2 a ton of sand for really bad spots was no problem. As to the
AWD's, if there is no traction for 2 wheels, there is no traction for 4.
