went out in mine with summers on and..............it just drove got up some steep hills too even on roads where the snow was packed i was really surprised as there summer tyres. had a mess around with the setting for snow / gravel that seems to lock the diffs and control how much power is allowed to the wheels regardless on throttle input. impressive though as you can make better progress with it on than off car fell much more in control.

still respectful though as they are summer tyres  2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current

i to found summer tyres to be adequate in the little snow we get in the UK but obviously for proper snow like in the alps for instance , winter tyres would be my choice... ... - .- -.

Well I nearly ended up in a ditch in the disco earlier.....

All season verdes, went for the bend, car carried on in a straight line. Massive ditch inbound.... fortunately there was a berm in front of it which scooted me round, but it was a touching cloth moment...

So chaps don’t get to cocky thinking these machines are invincible. That was me, at 25mph on all seasons in a D4. Could have been expensive. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

That's the classic - 4x4 gives you grip as you accelerate, so you start to feel smug, then realise you can't go around corners, or stop, all that much better than anything else.

I very nearly came a cropper my first time out in snow - and still have regular occasion to remind myself to slow down

As a great Canadian once said 'Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim'

But the character was from Scotland.

Humour Kurt, HUMOUR...

Wasn’t helped by the fact that there is 300kg of lead in the back of the car at the moment..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Fortunately not Stan, some nice new rolls for some dormers if building. 4 x 80kg rolls plus some 6” plus all the normal tat I carry round so about another 200kg...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
