They will be great in snow but hairy on ice..where we are Mr Tee more chance of being caught out on icy roads than deep snow so I would go for something like the Vred Wintracs 4Xtremes which are fantastic for all winter conditions

I had big problems with aquaplaning in mine even at relatively slow speeds the RR would get pulled all over the place if it hit standing water. I checked the tyres (19" Pirelli Scorpions) and noticed that the inside edges were wearing quickly, so I had the four wheel alignment checked and new Pirellis fitted to the front and that made it a lot better. I have since changed to Continental on 20's and have no problems at all..........famous last words!

Got the Wintracs on mine and they have been excellent so far in heavy rain. Haven't driven an FFRR without them so can't comment completely accurately, but they don't seem to produce undue road noise. Probably car would be a hint quieter without them but its almighty quiet even with them. When they are worn out I'll be replacing them with the same.

Its all relative, the wifes little SLK in rain on its fat tyres.... thats a butt clenching experience!  Lloyd Barnes

I was doing my butt clenching exercises just watching the dam video

I've got 18" Grabber AT's on mine & it aquaplanes at ridiculously low speeds, you end up with your sphincter going like a rabbits nose when you hit standing water. On the other hand, they are excellent in snow or muddy conditions. The reason women's minds are cleaner than a mans mind is that women change their minds more often!
When women say fine a mans in deep doodoo as fine has so many meanings.

I used to use General Grabber AT on my Sport as a winter set.
Used in Wales so loads of snow and sh t weather.

Really good tyre would highly recommend.
