Caporegime
Had fun with my AD08r's yesterday looked like a right yobbo with the rear end out on a junction.
I can understand width, but what difference does profile make?Tyre width and profile is critical in this weather.
I assume a higher profile allows for more deflation meaning the tyre wall can be used for traction?I can understand width, but what difference does profile make?
Way back when I got my first 3 series some friends called me about 4am wanting a lift back from Birmingham City centre as it was so bad no taxis or anyone was about.
First time in such deep snow with no gritted roads on my way there I got a bit cocky and thought "let's turn the traction control off, hey?!" ..... skid....spin...CRUNK!
Will never forget the sound of my alloys dinking into the curb as I 360'd down this empty road hahaha!
Let's just say it was a while before I took the traction control off again!
Just getting ready to attack the Birmingham roads and motorway it to Leicester... or maybe lanes would be better... either way I need to clear half a foot of snow off the car first though! Wish me luck!

Hahah those are bad in the wet, let alone the snow!Had fun with my AD08r's yesterday looked like a right yobbo with the rear end out on a junction.

Heres my story
people have forgotten how to drive today
People doing 20mph in a 60 on a road with no snow apart from on the verges
People on the motorway doing much the same and sitting in the middle lane
I did 300 miles today towing so i was limited to two lanes and 60mph and have sure had enough of plebs.
On the other hand Range rovers are brilliant in this weather
I assume you didn’t take chains? Got the 330d up to Val Thorens multiple times on summer tyres, only once did I have to stop to put on chains. The biggest issue is keeping momentum with all the idiots damn near stopping on every single switchback.
