Well, as already said.

The trouble is, nobody is setting thier car up for the conditions!

Lower the tyre pressure and load the boot up....it will be more stable than any front wheel drive car then.

I have been traveling 100 miles a day this week (as every week) along a mix of back roads, major roads (although very bad on Monday) and motorways and have had no issues at all.

But I took SENSIBLE steps to make sure the car was right for the conditions!  

Totally agree with you Mark.


Lower tyre pressures and a decent tank of fuel are things we can all do in a jiffy at a local petrol station.

If any one remembers the Jermemy Clarksons arround the world motoring series, when he went to Iceland they drop thier tyre pressures even lower for the deep snow to gain maximum traction.

As one member has allready mentioned, Snow Chains, a while back Debs posted calender pics of her Miggy with chains on, there was a quick chat about them.  £25 plus post on the bay.  If the weather goes back the way it was in the 70's and 80's then maybe a good investment.  They say history repeats itself.

To 3lb per square inch if I recall correctly

To 3lb per square inch if I recall correctly  

Couldnt remember if it was 4 or 12 psi, but still low.  Now sure what sort of tyres they were that were designed to run at such low presures.  But I loved there tyres re fitting method when they came of the rim.
