Going up a steep road one of the other cars stopped. I was left trying to start off on sheet ice, needed abit of pushing

Worked a treat on the roundabouts

Studded tires ftw!

I'm curious, are you driving with summer tires around year?

We need to change winter tires here, it is because of law and perhaps good for health too

When I came back from job interview there was crossing where I did turned and then decided to accelerate bit faster to 80kph, tires spinning trough 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, no grip

Then I noticed I had already bit more speed, but it is not my fault, it is just too much fun to accelerate sideways

In the Uk we have the same tyres all year round. We very rarely have snow to be fair so there is not much point!!

Wimp

We went through over 50 miles of propper snow including the well known mega steep hill on the 55.

My brother was driving and he is used to snow.

But fair play I understand you did not want to take part in

Bend my ride!
