I run 225/60/16 Goodyear Ultragrip Ice tires, and I have to say that the Eurovan is extremely capable in heavy snow with these tires.
Pros: extremely capable in snow

I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.
Pros: impressed with performance
Cons: front clearance not great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
17" of snow We just received an official 17.1" of snow so here is how my 01mv did with a set of Nokian Haks: At the end of the storm I tried to drive uphill to my house on an unplowed residential street. Made it most of the way before getting stuck - the front bumper was pushing snow.
Pros: good traction, money well spent
Cons: front bumper pushing snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
As for the brakes the S2 16v's should take it hands down.
Pros: should take it
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
water pump should be changed to metal impeller version at the time of timing belt change
Pros: metal impeller version
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
But the MK2 brakes by far hands down feel better and seem to grab better. I'm not sure why that is, they are actually more worn than my Mk1.
Pros: feel better, grab better

Yep, guess it's common, but mine just caused a smoking fire under the hood! As mentioned, I just started the car in the a.m. and was backing out of the garage. It started sounding and acting funny as explained and the engine light was blinking.
Cons: caused smoking fire
