Snow and freezing temps for at least a week, I'd say.

Anyone with sports contact 3 tyres or similar tread pattern, stay at home.

In a test of winter tyres they tested a summer tyre as an example as well.

All winter tyres had stopped when braking from 30mph. At which point sc3 where still doing 25mph. :o

That has always been my point about winter tyres. It is on snow they really really come into their own. Would never go out on summers in snow again.

But we do not get enough snow to go out and buy winter tyres, as a matter of course, hell I bought a Jeep 2 years ago after a bad winter, seen hardly anything to worry about since..... ::) ::) ::)
