Funny thing is, tires for the darn things are quite expensive per square
inch; probably because 10" tires aren't mainstream. Put a set of studdes
snows on the Mini, and you could go just about anywhere, as long as the snow
wasn't more than 4" deep.
I had a set of Goodyear Double Eagles on my last Mini. Golfers: You should
recognize the brand. . . Golf Cart tires! They were rated to 80 mph, but
liked to wander. Same ones my grandfather has on his golf cart. He chains up
the golf cart, puts the snowplow on the front and plows his driveway this
way. . .

With front wheel drive a set of all-season radials might
make it a bit brighter... and rubber for that thing must be
cheap compared to a Landy.
Maybe a stop at NTB before you hit the road?
