Well having snow tyres on the EC last two winters I got to use them for the 1st real time yesterday.
Two plus inches or 50mm (for the younger ones or our Brexit friends) of fresh snow gave them a good trial.
A steep snow covered hill was a good test, the last time I drove it in snow was in a 4wd mini on new summer tyres and it struggled but got up.
I had to knock the traction control off to give some power and wheel spin but the EC got up, impressed.
On summer tyres the car would have not got up that hill I am sure of that, breaking is also much better worth the investment.
Anyone else running on snow tyres? or who wished they were the last week or two?.
