Nokians are a famous mobile phone brand

If you want to do a pit stop at mine you can swap with my 224s with nokians
And warm your Rsend on his log burner
Was that while waiting for the chaos of everyone being let out at the same time to clear?
Job already done pal , roads were rough at times with 2-3cm snow through northern France in the early hours but we arrived safely & only had the odd twitch & scare think a lot was down to running the right tyre pressures
I'm glad I read that in your post - my daily has a set of Blizzacks on!
600 miles. I'm impressed and more impressed because of the snow. I'm a crap long-distance driver.

I use Blizzacks in up to 6" when the Z4 turns into a snow plow and needs to be parked, and the 4X4 fired up. After 30 years of driving in the mountains, snow is never an issue, (up to about 6"). MOMENTUM is the key, NEVER use the power, but finesse only enough speed to keep rolling, and you'll look like Lewis Hamilton to the sideways drivers. Stopping and starting is DEATH. Keep rolling, don't spin wheels, and you'll get home....
Unless you are on performance dry weather skins, in which case you are pretty well screwed and should have stayed home....
I suspect the biggest threat are the thousands of OTHER drivers who don't get much seat time in snowy conditions...Z4 owners learn how to drive sideways in their first few hundred miles anyhow, so they know what to look for!
Good Luck Mates....be careful - they aren't making any more of these!
It's all very well you Europhiles giggling together, but I ain't spending 1500 of Her Majesty's good sovs on a set of wheels & winter tyres in case it snows in the East Midlands. In your actual Scandinavia, parts of which are above the Arctic Circle and have polar bears, they set their clocks by the first flakes of the white stuff and get good value out of their winter sets. Here, the highest-ranking country in the Winter Olympics that probably won't have snow most winters, it just ain't worth it.ronk wrote: ↑Fri Mar 02, 2018 12:54 am ...
I’m not suprised you laugh - Europe and Scandanavia must get the giggles as well. The UK gets a dusting and we grind to a halt . Most of the problem is folk insist on using the same tyres summer and winter then wonder why they get stuck and boast they can drive according to the conditions!
