Indeed. *Snow weighs about 15 lbs/cuft. So then, 12" of snow on a car

That's about 5 fat people. *That doesn't seem like tire-popping weight
to me.
But the OP said he got SEVEN FEET of snow.
7x1080 = 7560 lbs of snow on top of the car.
That's definitely tire-popping weight.
I wonder if this guy is trying to get on mythbusters...
