Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Too precious towards the car?

What with us being in almost continual lockdown this year the Morgan has had very little use. Like most I would not go out for a "fun" drive in the rain but it doesn't bother me and I have been out in some really biblical downpours.

As for snow I have driven it in the snow several times and in northern Italy we are obliged to carry chains in the car or have snow tyres fitted from 15 November to 15 April. I do have a set of chains but I can't imagine actually using them. Four years back I decided to fit Michelin CrossClimate tyres which are certified for the snow. I loose a very small amount of dry road braking (no problem in cornering grip) but gain enormously in wet weather handling and they are nearly as good as dedicated snow tyres when it snows. I would not use them if I wanted the ultimate sports car grip but for me they are a great all year round compromise.
