Some serious snow, horrid stuff.

Least you are on the level, we live on a hill and soon as it snows its a no go area.

I could do with a better OSF tyre, but other than that I can't complain too much about how my ZS has handled the conditions. The back end has been fine, and if I steer clear of the throttle pedal the TD's torque pulls me up to a respectable speed through the gears with very little wheelspin.

I just dont tempt it in mine, bitten once in the zs in the snow and now if I can avoid using it in this weather I will do. Even with good quality branded tyres the other year, it was shocking and I do know how to drive in the snow. Not saying im perfect by any means but it doesnt bother or worry me driving in the snow until I have to use the zs.
A car that feels so planted on a daily basis transforms into someting very oposite. Maybe just mine or my experince but I dont risk it now.

Mines still buried under the snow, nice zs shaped snow figure on the drive lol

Just started snowing again in Bridgend, I went out this morning and have to say I'm well impressed with my winter tyres, I got up a hill which I'd been stuck on previous years, straight up no problem, mind you 240bhp is a bit of a nuisance with so little traction.

Think you are brave even taking it out.

Makes you wonder if we would all be better off with a set of winter tyres.

Trouble is its only once in a blue moon, down here on the south coast, most likely be perished before the tread goes.
