With 4Motion and some driving skill.

Winter tyres in Southern England are for those lacking any form of driving skill, or common sense, and the over-cautious.

Agree totally with this those winter tyres will be completely worn out in no time inbetween the snowy spells.

It is yes, it all seems worse as he has more of a blog going on over there rather than a forum style if you get my drift?

my "summer tryes" seem to cope with all temperatures (sideways and skidding excepted!) I just need to brake that bit sooner and expect wheel spin at every junction!

then again I've got 100bhp and traction control!  :grin:
