Winter is not the main season for driving the 3Wheeler, but sunny days may force it out of the garage.
I had test runs on slippery roads with snow...
It's something for brave people but not very save to keep the track straight. The torque pulls hard and the grip is poor on the rear end with the standard tire.

As pics of MTW's in winter conditions have been published I am curious if someone has put a winter tire (or M&S) on the rear wheel to have a better grip on snow.

Too much water on the ice, so Lars couldnīt run flat out.
Tyres with Finnish rally spikes.
Lars still have the tyres if someone wants to make a try.
