You're a looney!

Worn S-02s are too hard in the tread, even to be of any track use.

I think you will be astounded by the grip of the soft compund on new S-02s.

New S-02s are still crap in the snow though. Too wide at the rear.

PS - pulling a fuse is a good idea, as ABS is lethal in the snow. However, you are technically "driving with defective brakes" so don't have a shunt with the fuse out!

Brand new SO3s on the back a coupla weeks ago, and no problems in the snow here. Good fun so far in fact! :drunk: :rev:

That said, if we get much more it's gonna be tricky getting off the carpark here.. :)

I wish i had snow :drunk: sounds fun :rev:

The old Eagle Ultragrips got me through Blizzard conditions this morning.

Fantastic in the snow. You should get a second set of wheels and put winter tyres on them :rev:

For all 3 days they have snow, down south :rev: It would be cheaper to get a taxi to work on the days when it's snowing :drunk:

Methinks thou' hast a point :(

H U G E moment in the outside lane of the M74 yesterday (down the hill southbound at Abingdon) - wheels were spinning on light throttle in 6th, and sliding when I came off the throttle :rev:

Only calmed down when I de-clutched and let the car drift down to a speed where I could get back into the inside lanes. :drunk:

I do and drive a beater. Fastest car on the road at the moment. Just aim for the most expensive car you can see and watch those gaps open up :)

Went for a play in Tesco's car park yesterday at 6.30am..Handbrake tastic :(

and all the time the S sits at hope awaiting the lovely sunshine

:rev:

I drove in the snow this morning, had a few issues trying to drive the slight incline leaving my culdasack, it really took a huge effort using 2nd gear and very gentle acceleration. The ABS issue is the same on any car I have ever driven with ABS not just the S. My Audi S3 could move a lot easier in the snow but was no better at braking. I find gentle application of the brake works fine. If it starts to lock just remove and reapply gently.

When I got going I found driving on the snow ok, and I am on S02's.

Here are some pics of my driveway this morning. The snow is set to get a lot worse tonight and tomorrow so I may consider working from home tomorrow.

what snow? all melted here in Amersham!

You can get by on the SO2s provided you don't meet any steep inclines, or you don't stop on a light incline. Best to make sure that if you do have to park up at all, the car is parked downhill.

The type of snow makes a difference as well - I have much better grip in deep powdery snow, than deep wet snow - I guess like skiing, "dry" snow compacts and gives you better grip.
