Winter tyres are for 4x4's all year round.

Ah, that explains the obsession with the poxy things then. Bloody tractor drivers.

I laugh with my a*s* when I see the drivers faces of skating 4x4 on ice.. they are useless without proper tyres..

Fairly sure 99.9% of vehicles would skate on ice whatever tyres are fitted. Guessing you really need studs for ice............

nope.. not all ice surfaces are smooth as ice rink.. and even unstudded winter tyres can hold that surface to an extent..

Well... as it was down to -3° last night, here goes...

Runway Performance 926 245/40/18 XLs behaved impeccably, even on untreated back roads. Bring on the snow

Sc3 all good and well behaved in -2 temps this morning. Usual grip levels on motorway slip roads.

Driving normally, no loss of grip at all in fact. Funny that.

Don't worry Andy, they have different types of snow and ice in Turkey

We just get that cold, grey drizzly shit with leaves everywhere

Yep you got it. Normal for 5am on empty roads.

Maybe there's an ice test somewhere on the internet?

See which country has the most grippy ice. If that particular country gets any/much ice at all that is.

Obviously if there is, we'll happily ignore that as well as any useless tyre tests.

Obviously not an Ice Road Truckers fan... Anywhere north of the artic circle below a certain temperature, everything freezes to the road surface so apparently pretty easy to drive on as long as you don't do anything suddenly...

Ignoring all the overhyped blocks on the telly, the autobiographies of Hugh Rowland and Alex Deborgorski are actually very interesting reading
