Not that I believe everything I hear about weather but this winter looks to be predicted as a bad one.....as bad as 1962/63 or 2010.

The Express always over dramatise on anything topical in the news, I doubt it will be snow up to the top of the lamp posts, but hey Im retired now I dont need to go out in it anyway I can just stay in bed thinking Im glad Im not going out in the stuff, FL2 or not.

yeah I totally agree, most times they predict bad weather but I must admit reading the guardian, express and a few other websites it certainly looks more probable than normal.

Yeah thats what im getting on the FL, but i hear a lot of people talking about winter tyres however my budget cant stretch to 5 GG AT and then a set of wheels with winter tyres on so im hoping the GG ATs do the job if it snows. 2010 HSE SD4 in Santorini black (Privacy glass, leather/heated seats, ICE, Verde AS M+S) 2002 Freelander GS TD4 (sold 2011) |

Grabber AT2 and Grabber AT are good in all round conditions in my experience. Good grip in dry, wet and muddy conditions. They are good in the snow (stamped as M & S tyres) but you will skid if not careful and they will clog up with compacted snow. However combined with the GGS setting on terrain response they almost unstoppable. |

I think that seals the deal then, just need to get them bought and fitted......size of tyre is a pain but ive found someone local who can fit for 140 a wheel. 2010 HSE SD4 in Santorini black (Privacy glass, leather/heated seats, ICE, Verde AS M+S) 2002 Freelander GS TD4 (sold 2011) |

Oh dear not the Daily Express predicting extreme weather again lol. I don't read any paper but twice this year I got to a regular customers house who do read the Express & both times a Heatwave prediction was on the front page or inside cover & IIRC they said the same last winter.

got mine from a local indy garage near Mansfield that ive used for years for servicing and tyres. mine were standard 235/65/17 for the standard GS wheel. cost me £112 a corner fully fitted. another plus side is that you should get 40k + out of them before they need changing. |
