Snow + Paradas :(

There is nothing wrong with the tyres mate, his clio ran out of grip ffs.

How can a tyre be "bad" in the snow explain.

Is the tread pattern wrong for snow perhaps.

^ tyres have nothing to do with grip i suppose?

I think the point that people are trying to make is that the tyre isn't 'bad' in any condition. The driver should know the limits of the car in certain conditions,

Not unless it's a snow tyre no.

LOL

winter tyres vs summer tyres? IIRC roy munson had a very good post on this.

Shall I re-phrase that for you.

Brand, spec of tyre in the snow is somewhat irrelevent if there is no grip there is no grip.

LOL if the conditions were too bad for your tyres then maybe you should have left the car parked up and used another way of getting home or stayed at a friends house

So you are saying it wouldn't have happened had you had Michelin exalto's or Toyo T1-R's?
