You have probably bought "your steel rims" in Stockholm, but can you tell me the name of the retailer that sells them? A web-address would be good. I assume it is not Landrover Sweden. LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq . Production Date: 11/5-2007 in Halewood. Sorry, but I have changed to Defender 90 ", and I love my" tractor ". http://www.youtube.com/bjartin |

A few Provinces in Canada (Like Quebec) have enacted legislation to make driving in the winter without propper winter tires as listed by the Government...the snow flake symbol.

I live near vancouver where it mostly rains. I have been pondering whether I need snow chains or snow tires but not really sure. I'd be going up to ski resorts around here maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks. I don't think I should get studded tires since I'm told that it reduces the breaking power, especially in the rain since there is reduced contact with the road. Also it is only a lease I'm only gonna have it for 1 more winter season, so you think I should get chains instead? |

My AutoSocks thread became more a discussion on winter tyres so thought I had better continue on this thread for easier reference.

Pirelli Ice & snow doesn't do too bad in tests. The one doing best in tests are Blizzak DM Z3 (or something like that). Myself I have Conti 4x4 IceContact without studs, and I am very happy with them. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack. |
