Hi

Over here most seem to fit 'Bridgestone SO 3'S' or 'Toyo Proxes'
both seem to be the best compromise for wet & dry use

Regards
Tim

Thumbs up

Hi,

I use Goodyear Eagle F1's and I am very happy with the performance in the wet or in snow. Other tyres do perform better in the dry but I would rather have the grip when it matters...

Mark.

aj - we don't actually get much snow over here. You guys get a lot more. There are a few users in places like Sweden, perhaps they'll give you some feedback.

Last year it snowed for a few hours at the end of January, with around a foot of snow settling on the ground, and the whole country came to a standstill.

I have heard that it's best to disconnect the ABS in the snow.

(Apologies for the hijack, aj.)
