Well, thats the first proper snow of the winter and low and behold, the ditches are littered with yummy mummy 4x4's as usual!
If any of you have never tried winter tyres, seriously think about getting some. I have a set fitted to my Subaru and despite me living half way up a hill on an unclassified road that is never swept, and which was sheet ice over the weekend, and is now covered in 2-3 inches of snow, the car never slipped, slid, deviated or appearred flustered.
I think it should be law to tell the truth, even on cold, wet roads there is a huge difference in grip.
