For what it's worth, the traction in deep snow with my car's stock 165 width tires is a heck of a lot better than in my father's truck (245 width), or even with my in-laws's Prius (195 width). I can't count how many mornings I drove around my in-laws' Prius which was stuck trying to get out of their driveway, and my father's truck gets stuck in wet grass.
Granted, there are other factors. The truck is RWD, the Prius is heavier, and my Insight's rear wheels are closer together than the fronts, so it's not an apples to apples comparison.
Anyway, I'm following this thread with interest. It may take you a while to really sink your teeth into it, but your Aveo probably has some great potential.
