Best tyres for snow
lurch_917:
tyers dont take the place of good driving skills plan ahead and drive according to the conditions lad and youl be ok
Disco Matt:
True - but the right tyre choice makes life a lot easier! Mine had road tyres on when I got it, they were a pain on snow as they just tended to slide. The BFG A/Ts are a lot grippier and more predictable too.
SnakeLogic:
I had a set of Pirelli snow tyres on last year and had no troubles at all, but I really don't like how they feel slippery on dry tarmac. I've got A/Ts on now and plan to keep them on all winter.
Range Rover Blues:
General wisdom is that the BFG A/T is one of the best tyres going for snow. If you think about it, the tread is there to displace the snow/slush and let your tyre get down to the tarmac and that's when you need a good tyre, wet weather grip in the cold.
clbarclay:
There is snow and then there is snow.
Events like the Crosiere Blanche require mud terrains and chains and the tyres on the pickup Clarkson drove to the north pole weren't exactly all terrains either.
Roads with churned and compacted/icy snow though can be very different, narrow tyres (high pressure) seem to work best, but for winter driving there is not much that compares to a full set of chain for when it gets bad (though obviously spiked tyres are better at higher speed)
