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!

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

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.
