Thread: Which tyres for snow should I put on

Thanks gents, both the km2 and the hankooks have the M+S on them, seeing as I have the hankooks on I'll leave them there, and as was said there will probably be no snow anyway so should be fine. I did buy a snow cowl for the heater air intake vent on the wing so at least I have some snow bling. It is better than the kbx vent I had, they look great but you can't stand on them! Thanks again.

There's a couple of things to consider , there's different sorts of snow . Fresh soft snow most cars can drive on as long as it's not to deep . Then there's that hard packed ice , where you cant get down to the road surface , good tread gives tracksion . Wide tyres with poor tread on this are dangerous especialy on mountain roads. Driving technique use your gears to control your speed , try not to use your brakes more than you have to . One other thing is tyre presure , don't run them to high !!.. Good luck and enjoy your trip , take some Milo for the kids . Jim
