Strawberry Bank?I live fairly rural on a hill that becomes impassable with the slightest dusting, I have two 4yo bairns and want to be as safe as I can.

I'm sure WRC teams will be changing their tactics on this advice. A smaller surface area is better for snow as it digs in better to find traction iircTyre nowadays are good for all seasons...in snow just lower tyre pressure by 5 psi.. This will give a bigger surface area on road..
Nah the wilds of DH7Strawberry Bank?
Yes, I can get tyres. In the process of setting up a new account with a well known local supplier.Do you sell tyres? Cheers

Apart from it isn't. Rally cars have very thin wheels for snow.Rubbish..

We're talking about driving on winter roads not rallying... Do you want people to drive like Colin McRae in snow or take sensible precaution and drive with care..Apart from it isn't. Rally cars have very thin wheels for snow.
Obviously not. It just you're acting embarrassing over a none too controversial thread.We're talking about driving on winter roads not rallying... Do you want people to drive like Colin McRae in snow or take sensible precaution and drive with care..
12C+ that knacks them I think? It’s certainly higher than 5.Would all-season tyres be a better solution for us? Winter on those, then the rest on normals?
We have a lot of 5C+ dry days in our winter, which isn't ideal for winter tyres IIRC.
Really I was only qouting common practice we do on our trucks when snow hits us ... Which ain't a lot in pompey I must admitObviously not. It just you're acting embarrassing over a none too controversial thread.
I asked a reasonable question regarding storage of tyres. I have been driving for 26 years, and never had an issue with snow even when I had a rear wheel drive car, however, having two small bairns and being financially comfortable enough to do so I will do anything to make my car as safe as I can for transporting them around.Really I was only qouting common practice we do on our trucks when snow hits us ...

You are thoughI asked a reasonable question regarding storage of tyres.

I don't need to be told I am essentially wrong for considering winter tyres, when I live on a hill in a relatively rural part of Durham.
Thanks though.
Not sure if you're the best person to give out safe driving tips.It’s a load of bollocks I reckon. I drive to Consett every day, where it’s usually a couple of degrees colder than down here and I’ve never required “extra grip”. Even during the massive snowstorms a couple of years ago I got in while people from Consett with winter tyres on didn’t make it.
You are though
My dad worked for Dunlop at Washington from it opening to it closing, I'm not allowed cheap tyres. The amount of people who scrimp on the only part of the car to touch the road is unbelievable.Didn't say you we're wrong.. Was trying to save you money... It was you that started the rallying bit..good quality tyre of today will give you a nice road grip in snow by lowering the pressure... Hope this conversation is pointless and we don't get any snow..
Is your car front or rear wheel drive..?Not sure if you're the best person to give out safe driving tips.
