Bad timing there Rob. :)

Whenever I wash a car it generally rains the next day - but never snow (yet)!

Mind you my tactic of fitting winter tyres to avoid snow has failed this winter - although it worked for the previous 3! :wink:

I used Michelin cross climate tyres last winter, but we never had any terrible weather really-I think they’re a good option because their operating range of temperature is wider than a strictly winter tyre :thumbsup:

I picked my car up from Hook on the Saturday of the "mini beast from the east" and the next day it was covered in snow.
