" Winter should be a time for discretion, summer for display. That, after all, is nature's own rule "
Almost learnt that myself last night when trying to 4 wheel drift a 2 tonne barge in the snow

thanks for the info; i think for the weather we have here its probably ok to go for a central europe type tyre (like germany) as its mostly wet in the winter with some snow.. either that or i might try and find some of those ice racing tyres and hope to cause enough damage that the council HAS to do something about our shocking roads!!Project 911 wrote:Beeing from Finland I'm very used to snow driving. As said, winter tyres are must (by law they are required there Dec-Feb minimum). You really dont need spikes, just regular winter tyres will do, and they are pretty good nowadays even on dry tarmac, tyre technology has moved forward a lot. If you want really good winter tyres, you need to buy "scandinavion edition" tyres, many winter tyres are designed for central European mild conditions, but they should be fine for UK.
