I know that the Goodyears are the wrong size, fitted on car when I bought it last week
Spun the car at end of the road, so turned it back around again, went home and put my 17"s back on.
Surprise, surprise I got to work with no problem
40th rated tyre in some irrelevant test they might be, but here in the real world...
Got to admit, they're pretty good unless you're being a idiot
I'm sure proper winter tyres would give better performance on these rare days there is actually snow and ice, although I highly doubt they would have worked on the surfaces I had issues on today
Managed to get the front wheels straight ahead and off the brakes with everything gathered up before I would have hit the curb though
Think a snow pile actually stopped me in time as not convinced I'd applied the on switch in reverse before we stopped
But (again) I was driving like a idiot
It was enough to wake me up that there was now ice under the virgin snow that hadn't been there an hour previously though
Which made it more fun (deliberately) sliding down the road
