I think I know the answer but I am hoping I am wrong. So down south we got a lot of snow yesterday and it caused chaos. I was meant to be somewhere and I thought I would be ok with my set of Eagle F1 asymmetric 3. Plus I had to wait for my niece to come down who had a set of uniroyal rain sports which I made her buy a few months ago (for her not cheap)
Basically she got stuck so I went to get her and also got stuck. I had the traction off and took it slow but my town in Hertfordshire was screwed. I'm assuming it's the tyres that were wrong for that weather?
I won't need a set for ages but I thought mine would be ok in the snow? When we had really really awful snow and the country was at a stand still years ago I remember having mid range tyres on my bmw mini and yes it took forever to get home but the car was going up and down the back roads with ease.
Is there such a thing as a proper all weather tyre or was it just bad luck yesterday. The wife says its poor driving but even she couldn't get the car moving.
My current have been fine in the wet and dry. We don't get bad snow often and don't really want a set of snow tyres to use just once or twice a year.
