Haven't fathomed how OP got into that situation in the first place unless avoiding something/one?
PS Remember Cross-plys folks, lovely weren't they, we live to tell the tale.

A little too much speed to be able to deal with an unexpected situation, otherwise every other car that went around that roundabout would have suffered the same fate. We've all done something similar at some point.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

If you read the original post it was oil on the road. Any summer tyre like we get in the UK will stop working effectively or less effectively than it would in the summer below 7° which is common knowledge and not scare mongering.
You inferring a winter tyre wouldn't slide on oil. haha! Naff all copes with oil.
No it was you saying about ambient temperatures and scare mongering!
