#3: Re: driving in snow........ Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:09 am ---- just standard tyres on mine, which are better for snow
#4: Re: driving in snow........ Author: Mike, Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:11 am ---- Mine wasn't so great, not helped being so low + front splitter meant it caught the snow in the middle of the road where everybody else had made 'tram lines'.
This is how it looked at 8am this morning when I had just got in from a night shift at work, was only driving for maybe 15 minutes today and same last night going to work :/

i have M&S road tyres and they do make all the difference. not only to driving on snow and ice, but better grip and braking distances in general cold weather.
anyone who tells you otherwise is a tightarse who won't spend the money on being safer on the road.
may not be necessary in built up areas down south but they have been essential for me.
our 1.4 hdi is crap on snow hence still waiting on new winter tyres coming for it.
