Woke up this morning to find that the world has suddenly changed to black and white.

Had to go 10 km to our local town for a medical appointment and took swmbo's Polo (otherwise known as the "shopping trolley") because it has the Michelin CrossClimate tyres fitted. So does the Plus 4 actually but the gritters have been out and I don't fancy getting it covered in salty grit.

The main road was clear but the other roads had a couple of inches of snow on them.

I have to say that the CrossClimate tyres are just brilliant. I tried to make them loose grip on the snow covered back roads a couple of times under cornering (with safety space), acceleration and braking just to see how they behaved. I really couldn't fault them and would have to be doing something really stupid to get into trouble. To me the grip was only fractionally worse than if it was just a wet road and they are good in the wet too.

I can definitely recommend them as an all year round tyre on an every day car. They are fine on the Morgan but if you only use the Mog on fine sunny days there are probably better choices. I'm happy with them on the Plus 4 as an all weather touring tyre plus they comply with our regulations for the winter season.
