I put the Vredys on for last winter, gave me so much more confidence driving in snow etc, Excellent grip,  :smiley: 
the F1s were terrible it was like driving about on steel rims without tyres,  :shocked:

You better be right Neil...

Yes: How sad for those snow queens. I'll be living in the Med area in 5 years. Bliss.

Good news!
I'm looking forward to going about my business with no fuss despite the deep snow...unlike the southern fairies who moan, whinge and generally have their way of life grind to a halt with a light dusting of snow.
