A few years ago we were booked into a posh hotel in Derbyshire in January. The forecast was heavy snow. We went in SiL's SEAT which had snow tyres.
We had a lovely evening watching the snow fall through an ancient leaded bay window next to a roaring log fire. It was enchanting. The stuff of Christmas Cards........
We set off back to SiL's, about twenty miles. The roads were white over with several inches of snow. That FWD SEAT performed flawlessly. It stuck to the road. We came up behind a group of Land Rover fans out green laning, and we kept up easily.
It was the most impressive demonstration of snow tyres I've seen.
Do I use snow tyres? No.
