Best tyres for snow

Suggest AT's or Mt's but if you realy want grip keep them narrow.

I'd heard that narrow was best too.
Thing with snow is that a lot of it is down to technique too, the best tyres in the world won't save you if your driving like a nutter. :twisted:

Yes, but all those studs help a great deal :lol:
What is it?, something like 300 per tyre?? (giving the contact area of roughly a 2p piece!!!!!!!!!!!)
Disco Matt:
A/Ts are great on snow - no trouble at all with mine, even when I went looking for interestingly snowy bits to play in!
For normal cars, narrow tyres and a sensitive right foot will keep you out of trouble. Turning traction control off can help depending on the vehicle.
crazymac:
The thing to remember about snow as well is the steering guard!!!!
When you are hitting large drifts the steering guard tends to lift the front of the vehicle loosing you traction :oops: I know this cos it took me an hour to dig myself out last winter :roll:
