Snow Disruption?

Get a set of winter tyres on and be amazed at how much better a standard 2wd car will perform.

 

I bought a set of steel rims from Ebay for £25 (including two decent summer tyres already fitted) and have since had dedicated winter tyres put on them. Fitted to a boggo spec Zafira, driving it on fresh snow you literally have to boot the throttle to even get it to lose traction.

 

The winter tyres are made of different compound so give better grip in any conditions below about 7 degrees.

 

Even though winter tyres are not required by law in the UK, I'm going to keep these and put them on from about November to February - having seen the difference, I am converted to the benefits.
