My el cheapo winter tires on my 96 Jetta were damn near unstoppable in the snow. I was worried about the low clearance of the vehicle, but I was able to go where other (bigger) vehicles could not. Even my Dad's truck (non 4x4, however) got stuck a couple of times.
In fact, I was able to stop, get out and push random people out of the snow, and then continue on without getting stuck myself.
Of course, my Dad's a winter tire sceptic. I asked him why my little Jetta had no issues and his truck was stuck in the same snow (we were in convoy to my sister's place nearby). Silence.
