While everyone's putting their cars to sleep over the winter I'm waking mine up early on Sunday morning for some winter cruising.

Looks a far better day than where I am!

We seem to have missed all the crappy weather here in Edinburgh. It's just been bitterly cold, but bright and crisp. I'd rather this than spring or autumn any day

Still snowing heavy here, we have about 8" on the ground. I wouldn't want to venture out in the Z for fear of some muppet crashing into it. I wouldn't get it off the drive anyway. 4x4 weather at the moment

Winter tyre weather, it's all about the rubber!
Power to all 4 wheels is irrelevant if none of them have grip

Some 4x4's are better than others, all depends how the power is delivered to the wheelsScooba_Steve wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 2:02 pmWinter tyre weather, it's all about the rubber!

I have all season tyres on our Nissan and that thing will go places that a lot of LR products get stuck

True true, multitude of factors, but the right rubber is always an advantage. Especially for the most important bit - stopping!

My Z4 coupe tackled the snow yesterday with no problems on Continental winter tyres, my first experience of them and I was absolutely amazed how well they worked. So glad I got them
