We had snow last night in Notts. Went out this morning first thing to get the papers and try out the Avon Ranger Ice tyres. Very impressed! Good traction in loose and compacted snow and slush; minimal tramlining where others had been before; very confident braking with minimal ABS action. Found it better to positively drive round a bend rather than trail the throttle which can lead to understeer. (just make sure you are not going too fast to start with!) GGS setting used throughout, requiring greater throttle pedal travel but car felt totally confident. Very pleased.
I could even say "groovy baby"!  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Running on Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 5 tires, haven't gotten me into trouble on any surface.
Have to change between them and summer tires tho.

working with the out of hours gp;s last night Oldham was gridlocked with stupid people in rear wheel drive cars trying to get up the hills i counted on one road 7bmw;s 4 mercs and one brand new rolls royce started snowing here approx dinner time so drivers had plenty of warning. i did not see one gritter or snow plough till about 9pm last night and the m60 round Manchester was a disgrace did not see one hi-ways gritter/ plough till 8am to day one weeks notice and they still cant get it right  rainy-city

I've just let loose with the RRS in a 30 acre field making pretty wheel patterns over the untouched snow, childish but fun. My lad was laughing his head off. some dog walkers looked at us over the hedge as if we had gone mad.

It was work related there was one pigeon in the field that needed scaring away, then it landed back in the same field so needed chasing away again, then again. At work
