I wouldnt recommend going out in snow without the right tires, but if you must. Then lower your tire psi abit, i'd say about 5-10 psi, turn your VDC off and be careful. Give yourself extra room at all time, especially when stopping. Be easy on the gas when accelerating.

Like smooth said, dont lock up the brakes, when you do that, your stearing goes out the window. If you do get stuck in a spot. And there no one to help push you out, try "rocking the car" back and forth. By that i mean, accelerate forward as much as you can, put foot on the brake, put the car in reverse, move back as far as you can, brake, foward and so on. Your tires will most likely spin, however, when they spin it will, dig some of the snow. But dont just sit there, letting them spin, soon as they start to spin, go the other direction. By moving back and forth, you are basically digging a trail to give yourself basically a running start to get out of the spot you are stuck in.
