Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content

Yesterday here was a snowstorm. We got 10 cm (4 inches) of new snow on the road. I would only tell that my car performed surprisingly great on unploughed road. No problem drive off on  incline in such snow. I was little bit afraid of snow and RWD after 2 BMW's with xDrive, but now i am not. The car is really great in winter.

Yes the weight does help.

The IS300h is the same, its pretty good in snow for RWD and the snow mode helps as well. Previous Merc was atrocious but it was sorted by sticking 2x25kg bags of coal in the boot.

Found my 450h is fairly good in fresh snow...But terrible on ice / very compacted snow. Actually managed to get stuck on just the camber of the road pulling out of my parking bay!

Traction control isn't good on ice and there's not an LSD. New(ish) 'wet weather' pattern tyres...So not a great tread for grip but does shift water.

 

Bit of grit and all good again.

There are Dunlop Winter Sport 5, 17 inch on stock alloys.

There's your answer, correct tyres for the conditions..

Have you changed to summer tyres now or are you sticking with the winters?
