It's Snowing !

[Wayne2015]

BEST time to test my all season tyres (Michelin CrossClimate) :) :) :)

[FROSTYBALLS]

No ....... Wait til the snow depth reaches your door mirrors ........

[Wayne2015]

Getting there!

Another 2 ft to go....

[Wiz201]

I've been eagerly awaiting snow for my snow special dash cam clips (yes I'm sad lol) will take it for a test up my mum's road tomorrow (ungritted testing road)

[Cyker]

No snow down here yet...

[Wayne2015]

6am.....

Short drive,

I can say NO WHEEL SPIN and NO SLIDING ON STOP on me CrossClimates :) ;) :)

[Wayne2015]

Doughnuts!

Still no sliding

Nor wheel spin (at least not at low speed...)

15mph hard stop (not emergency) and ABS (or EBD or whatever gizmo kicks in) - u can hear some gritty lock and a flash of dash light and it s STILL brought to a stop under full control again :)

Pleased with me CrossClimates

Hey Wayne, that must be some size of as selfie stick you used to take those photos.

Thought you'd be pleased with your Cross Climates, in my opinion Michelins are the best tyres. If it;s my money I'll buy them every time. My present car came with Continentals which give good grip but I'm told they don't last long, we'll see. WHen the time comes I might change the tyres or change the car, depends whats on offer.

Good time in the snow using the brakes and exercising the ABS, makes sure everything's working OK, bit noisy though and the wife doesn't like me driving "her" car like that.

[Wayne2015]

Buy wifey a pair of ear plugs?

[Cyker]

I think he'd be the one needing the ear plugs if she found out he was doing doughnuts and powerslides in her car

What. Tyres u got, buddy?

[fastbob72]

Khumos on the back and Dunlops on the front, nothing particularly special and I can feel their limitations through the snow. The roads are not being gritted or cleared nowadays like they used to be.

The 1ZZ-FE is a bit lightweight when it comes to real mass over the front end so this kind of weather is the one situation where my car doesn't feel completely competent meaning I need to. drive to the conditions just now but drivers should be able to do so if they're considered capable of driving legally :)

Snowing again in my part of the woods! Eeeek!

Together with gale force wind and rain!

[FROSTYBALLS]

Windy, dry, sunny, blue skies here

[Wayne2015]

Guess u are MORE south than me - heavy snow now!

[cobh18]

South of you, but higher maybe. Snow falling heavily, but above 0. Just in time for part ex my Yeti, and picking up Auris hybrid on Monday. Cross Climate to be fitted soon though....

 

[Wayne2015]

Let it snow!

Let it SNOW!

Heavy snow all morning!

Wayne, that message on your windscreen, was that your answer to the Spicey Cottage when they told you "No tick" 

[cobh18]
