Not special tires, but iron chain wrapping to increase grip on icy/snowy roads.
But even then, don't think Sporeans are used to drive in such snowy road conditions.

Must put chains on the tyres, from the photos you can tell they didn’t have chains on the tyres.

Sporeans driving in overseas are mostly ignorant to local traffic rules and road situation, on the snow must put chains on all tyres, it is a must in Australia, not sure about in Hokkaido. It is not like driving in Spore. Rest in Peace!

Very hard to drive on snow without chains, and the road on the mountain can be narrow, can easily fall off cliff or get stuck in deep snow trap next to the road. Visibility is very low also.
