I saw this video early this year and it had been posted by Snoops (sorry Hartside).
I kept going back to it and had to buy winter tyres.

Thats the first time i've watched that video and i'm very impressed with those winter tyres, having read most of peoples experiences with them i was still a bit unsure as to how good they actually were but that really is amazing! :shocked: I still can't really justify a set as i don't need the car to get about but can definately see how good they are now!

In my case definitely money well spent, I wouldn't have got up half the hills I have done this past week without them and there's more snow forecast for tonight. :angry:  No problems on ice as long as take it nice and easy.

Amanda:

I am in bed with my Blackberry, relaxing, watching TV, posting on the forum and letting all of them get on with it.

I'll descend shortly! :grin:
