My front tyres were pretty much on the limit, but it worked out cheaper to buy new tyres then to sit there spinning and burning all that petrol!:n:

Been stuck three times at my work car park lol. Apart from that I've done well considering this is my first experience of winter driving.
I can't wait for the summer and those lush evening cruises :D

After Heavy snow last night i had to venture out into north yorkshire, I come across a few abandoned BMW's. My Audi has a pair of 245/40/18 Vreidenstein Wintrac Extremes fitted on the front. Before fitting these winter tyres the car could not even get off the drive. Now it can tackle plenty of snowy roads.
Heres a few pics from this morning 50 mile trip

I have had fun. Though I do appear to be spending a lot of time digging other people out though. So far I have only get a little stuck driving home when the snow first turned up. I live out in the sticks and a good 6 inches or so of snow was on the road and I was the first to try get up the bank. Though with a bit of a run up I made it. The rear problem was my car was simply to low and grounding out. I still having seen the road from when it first started snowing a few weeks ago.
