Drove in the storm today. With winter tires, I have great grip on the roads except when the snow reaches my bumper. I felt like I almost burned out a new clutch by riding it in order to keep my momentum going. I heard tire slip may pre-maturely wear out the transmission too. Until I get an suv for the winter, how should I handle driving in this weather? Studded tires? Chains? Thanks!

That or fuel. Both are easy to test.
