Default Just Ordered These for the Snow

http://shop.grahamgoode.com/car-tyre...te-62676-p.asp

Because I live on a hill and getting in and out of my village is a mare!

On summer tyres.

Cheapest I've found all the ones on Ebay had ended!

It cost me alot last year when I hit the kerb wishbone, wheel bearing and a reburb wheel!

They are good on fresh snow, my neighbour has similar on his FWD audi and had no issues getting up hills etc with them on.

how strong/durable are they if used on clear roads for short distances? Expect they wouldn't last too long?!

problem round here is always that the housing estate roads are covered in snow, but the main roads are clear.

Good point about the use on dry roads. I expect they have quite a low speed rating.

Jep I think it's 50k (30mph). But you shouldn't be going that fast on snow and ice .

what do you need tires like that for

a scoob has four weel drive, ive always managed just,

must admit, the bumper on sarahs scoob did become a snow plough a couple of times in the last lot of snow, and it certainly slowed me down,
