No snow at NBO this year but 2 years ago
The misses forgot to put the car in DUH
350z was a complete waste of time
Fish weren't too happy neither
Igloo never got finished
Maybe the snow might come today as its cold enough at NBO as the Greenwagon fancies a trip out with its friends

so it's really not advisable to take the car out in snow if you have them fitted 
One of the reasons I fit winter tyres in winter is due to the fact that the hills here mean you need grip and stopping power, something summer tyres don't give you!

RE 070's are deadly in the snow, even with full tread as I found out in 2004 so it's really not advisable to take the car out in snow if you have them fitted

There is a hill up to my house that is about 1 in 4 and in the garage I have my Scoob fitted with Michelin Pilot Sports. On the drive I have a Volvo V40 fited with Vredestein winter tyres. I know which one I will be using to go up and down that hill in the next few days..... and it isn't the Scoob as it would not get up the hill, 4 wheels spinning with no grip isn't any better than 2!!

Had to take it out of it's nice warm underground car park and take it to work - good fun though! Although I am quite nervous driving it as I've not even owned it a week yet haha!

The Winter tyre thing is always fun. I had a friend rub his hand over his dry tyre last night, then over my Pirelli Sottozero. " Ah" he said- "now I get it" His normal tyre felt like hard plastic at -2 whereas mine was all soft and grippy, even stone cold. The Tread is not the reason they sork so well!
