I've not been having any problems in the Astra and it's on very wide Tyres. I normally drop the pressures a bit as the bigger foot print will help compensate for lack of cutting ability

I only got stuck cos I had to go over one of the badly aligned speed bumps out if Norwich! It's on an incline also haha!

Problem is someone turned right with no warning so stopped!!!!

Got the rope on and waited for a 4x4 :/

I've never got any of my ZS's stuck in the snow, and never had any problems with grip in the snow either... Infact last year (or was it the year before?) in all the snow I was pulling other vehicles out of trouble with my ZS

Just went to Bosnian border and got a set of 4 winter tyres, for a 230 euros! And I'm chuffed with the grip and comfort for the money http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre/sportiva-snow-win

Got a wee bigger 205/55/16 but they are as soft as butter. Zed is transformed into a merc... Speed bumps and sidewalks are now a walk in a park. The only issue is the fronts rub a bit on full lock... No ABS probs because they are on all corners.

Have to agree, no problems at all with winter tyres on.

I bought set of winter tyres and put them on the old Coupe 15s last year. Problem being when we actually had snow last year the ZS was off the road for a week and I had to use the sterling. This time round I tucked the ZS up in the garage sunday night for the week so that I can sort the leak out and its starts to bloody snow!!! So the Sterling is in action. Typical. Luckily we haven't had it that bad here yet.

My old R400 sdi with stock 14's was ace in the snow, the lack of ABS helped too.
