Hi guys

I tried on Wednesday for the first time to drive my stook on snowy roads. Well, this was the first time and probably the last as this car is simply unpredictable on snow. I have to admit that I've done it with OEM tires but anyway just do not dare (even if you think you are M. Schumacher). BTW, has anybody bought some winter tires and if so which ones? Could be useful with that foul weather !!

Victor.

Well I got it today and drove it like a sissy ;-) Yes,
I'm very carefully going to investigate the way these tires
work in the cold. Maybe I'm going to put on wintertyres
as well. I hope somebody has good suggestions.

I drove mine in the cold -5C, and that's ok it handles very good on the stoch tires.The only problem is all the salt on our roads.For the snow tires i can't help you guys, but there has been a post on it on car talk.

Yes I know about this post but I have already searched for Bridgestone Blizzaks in Luxembourg and they are just impossible to find. The demand for tires in the US market and the european market is very different.
As to the Michelin Alpins I was told they were not so good as the Goodyear UG6. I don't still know what to do so if anybody could give me some advice I would appreciate. Victor.

I'll have to pass by the tyre shop next week for the price on my rims so i'll ask him for those snow tires.
