Winter Driving

[Rathean]

Having got stuck in heavy Dudley snow years ago in my rear wheel drive Boxster and relying on the charity of passing shoppers who pushed us up the hill from the Merry Hill centre, I'm wondering how you get on in Winter conditions in the zeddy. Does anyone change to Winter tyres or do you all just park it up until the Spring

Could be the only thing I miss about my TT quattro, the ability to take my missus shopping in the snow

Have a winter set, they go on in Oct /nov when the morning commute temps drop. Don't see much snow but when I have they have performed very well.
Have a look on YouTube for the ford Kuga ski slope climb, one awd on summers, one fwd on winters.

Never bothered with winters and never had an issue, just drive cautiously.

I also have winter tyes which go on in late October or early November once the temperatures start to drop.

Bought mys of a second set of wheels and Reyes from our very own Mr Wilks. I put them on in November until March (ish). Haven't had much snow for the last few years to try em. However have drive a few rwd in Canada in snow and it's amazing what grip you actually get with winters.

This. Daily driver all year round, not had a problem

I have a set of winters - but to be honest winters for the last 4 years have been quite mild.

Winter tires are not just for Snow - as most summer tires lose there effectiveness below 7 Degrees

I love the look of them, it just takes longer to clean them though

That was an interesting video, thanks. When people go up the mountains skiing here, they usually have to put chains on to get up to the car parks, I'd be willing to bet that winter tyres would negate the need to chain up on the access roads to the ski fields.
Trouble is, you'd never convince the people that close the road and force you to put chains on, that snow tyres would probably be good enough. I don't know anyone that uses winter tyres here as the roads don't get bad enough (except ski field roads).
