My parents own a 2LS (automatic) and they do not have winter tires - my dad had no problems getting around in the snow, he'd put it into manual mode and then shift it to take off in 3rd gear.
I, on the other hand, own a 1LS (manual) and I do not have winter tires either. I had no issues getting around town in the snow because having the clutch makes it a lot easier to "feel" the road and how slick it is. I drove normally -- took off in 1st gear, etc. I had no issues, but we haven't gotten a lot of "big" snow falls in the Detroit, MI area.

I have a stupid question. What does taking off in 3rd gear do? I drive a v6. Does that matter?
