Bloody typical, just as it gets chilly, I ditch the car with winters on ::)

I was quite looking forward to trying them out in anger, but less keen on driving a turbo diesel auto in the snow after a horrific six weeks in an auto Vectra C at the end of 2009 :-\

New car is four wheel drive with lsd and a rear bias in sport mode, none too dissimilar to my old XR4x4... so bring on the white stuff ;D

I used my cheapo front tyres on a dusting of snow this morning. Felt just the same as the michelins that I had before. But, then again, I drive according to road conditions, so they're not likely to be asked to do too much.
