Bmw drivers gearing up

Correctly fitted snow chains should not scuff your alloys, only if you nail it whilst driving with them slightly loose (as you were too lazy to tighten them again after a few hundred yards) will cause this. Used them on a 320 and had no issues with marks on the alloys.
 
I once got a Bus. Mobile drug scoring units; if your dealer goes on holiday just get the Bus, sit down and wait your turn and generally you get served within a few minutes.

How do you normally get experience in something? :confused: How do you think millions of people in other countries manage the first time on winter tyres in snow (including myself about 10 years ago)?

For someone who I previously considered a 'driver' you really do seem to be scared of this snow stuff. :eek:

in the uk, we wont get experience in how to live with these things because instances where it occurs are so few and far between. thats why ill keep my car on its eagle F1s for the few days we have snow on the ground, even though they seem to be worse than nankangs in the snow and the car has real issue stopping, but ill just get on with it and have as much fun as i can whilst it lasts

but slapping some snow tyres on a car isnt going to give anyone the necessary experience about how to drive in these conditions.

snow tyres (id imagine) are better than my F1s in snow, but unless you have studded tyres, your snow tyre is going to be as bad as my F1s when you end up on sheet ice

you therefore need to know what to do with your wayward car, that requires experience, meaning youre no better off than when you started
 
Invest in some snow socks for your tyres, there's no chance of them scratching up your alloys and you can fold them up into the little tool compartment in your boot!

They also won't dig into compacted snow and ice. Alright on the loose stuff apparently.
