Anyone else have issues with hills etc in snow?
 
Cos I do, just know its a no hope situation :(
Michelin pilot sport 3 tyres on front and Pirelli assimetrico tyres on rear

Just been towed up a very slight incline which shouldn't really be an issue but absolutely NO grip!

I'm regretting the fact I didn't get winter tyres on If I'm going down there.
That said I recall there not being many hills in Norfolk :/

Not like cumbria! Or like Scotland which my R200 1.1 handled brilliantly!
Must be the torque!

wide low profile tyres are generally poor in the snow, throw any sort of power in and your stuffed, stick to higher gears and low revs if you can, soon as you wheel spin your done, tbh youd likely be better with space savers on in the snow

Or get some of those snow sock things, saw some in ASDA the other day.

I had grip issues with the Vectra this morning and they are Michelin Premacy. Everyone was having problems this morning.

We live on a hill, the ZSderv wont even look at it.

Time for the Punto, manages it without any probs.
