Nice. Great video. Saw this a while ago, they do some good videos regarding winter tires etc.... They do a video about ice and rain with winter tires too. prob more relevant for the UK, especially as someone will be along soon saying it doesn't snow at all near them so they don't need winter tires!
Edit: it was Matt Watson with Auto Express. good bits about rain and so on half way through the video, around 3mins in...
With all the talk on the forums about winter tyres, I thought I'd share this vid I stumbled across:
I'd stay in the house before driving in snow like that in the video
Ps dreadful video
I’m the opposite. I love driving in extreme weather. Get to test my skills
Beast from the East last year was no joke but it was good to know my old a6 managed to muddle through it and get me places like checking on my folks and making sure they had supplies. Also had to rescue my mate in his discovery sport on the worst night of it. Just drove through it all like any other day. Can’t let the weather run my life.
Me too, I love driving in extreme weather! However, anything that helps get me and mine and my car out and back home SAFELY in damp, wet, icy, snowy, sub 7ºC temperatures - usually mid-November to mid-March - is worth every £ for SAFE steering and braking and of course the traction is of amazing benefit.
A winter tyre user with every car purchased since October 1999 with a Vauxhall Carlton GSi 3000; a tad light on the back end was the GSi 3000.
Currently and watching the forecasts; purchased our current SQ5 back in March and purchased a set of winter rims and tyres BEFORE we got the car back home: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threa...-and-counting-down-to-a-place-near-me.386559/ post #3
Committed or what!

Why would you stay home? Set of winter tires plus Quattro makes an almost unbeatable car!! This was last winter. Normal for around 3months. Im British/English but it really is ridiculous how the UK as a whole stops with just a snowflake! A laughing joke in some parts of the EU, always on the news at how the UK hasn't coped again with 1mm of snow!
