Just watched the weather forcast for the region they say more heavy snow for thursday.....

Guys (and Shar!) I know in the UK it is rare for folks to have winter tyres, but you really should consider it for your F2. My RRS normally runs on 255/40 20" Pirelli Scorpion Mud and snow tyres but I also have a set LR 19" wheels (smallest wheels that can be fitted to the TDv8 because of its fancy Brembo front brake callipers) shod with a set of Pirelli Snow and Ice tyres 255/50 19's, makes a huge difference to the grip even in a car with TR. The other "benefit" I have noticed is that the ride is much more pliant on 19's with a 50 aspect than it is on 20's with a 40 profile. The LR wheels I bought from someone selling on the for sale section of RRSport.co.uk who wanted a fancier wheel............... now he wants to buy them back so he can fit winter tyres to his RRS! TR and winter tyres on a modern Land Rover make it almost unstoppable in the snow......................... they don't help much on ice though when you will not stop any quicker than anybody else. I haven't got stuck at all in the last 36 hours (but we haven't had enough snow to get anybody stuck here!
BTW the Pirellis are suitable for use in temperatures below 7C - warmer than this and they wear a little quicker as the compound softens and the tyres become "sticky" How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
