I have been running yokohamas on my 20's all year and they are a brilliant tyre, except in the snow. A couple of inches on the road and it slips and slides everywhere which is very embarrasing as well as dangerous.

I have finally bought some Vredestein Wintrac tyres and some 19 inch wheel and OH MY GOD! what a difference. Just been out around Buxton in 6 to 12 inches of snow and the RRS felt unstoppable, i even managed to get up one really steep road that my dad in his Disco 4 couldn't get up.

I would recomend everyone getting proper snow tyres for winter. 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6

Although I am running Pirelli Zeros with 4mm on them at the moment and have a set of Pirelli Snow and Ice tyres sat in the garage I have had no problems with the weather over the last few days. Even Tuesday night on the M74 when lots of other cars were getting stuck and people were even abandoning their cars, the TDv8 on it's standard 20" Pirellis and the TR kept me moving. My problem was knowing when to switch back from GGS to Highway on the TR!  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The HDC is great. Am I correct in assuming that nothing happens until you take your foot off the gas?

I have used HDC a few times now on really steep slippy roads and it is a real godsend. Last year on the standard conti's i got stuck in the snow on a steep icy/snowy hill and slid backwards into another stuck car, but i only had about 3mm on them, this year the yokohamas with 6mm+ were deadly. 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6

I put the MT/Rs on the car before comng over to Scotland last week and I'm glad I did. I had no problems at all getting up to John o' Groats even with towing a trailer. There were a lot of abandoned cars on the verge and I past a couple of cars struggling on the hills, one of them you could see his zig zag tracks all the way up the hill! It did take a long time to get north but it was an easy trip in the RRS. Coming south was a diffrent matter it was not the car but the blizzard that was blowing that made it difficult at points I was looking out the side window to get a reference to where I was going, I left a day early just to be sure I could make it back to the ferry and I'm glad I did as the roads were closed the next morning. In all that snow I was using GGS mode and kept the 4x4 info display up and not once did I see the diffs lock, tonight going into Peer and on thier cobbled streets the rear diff lock was on and off like nobodys business, on the single track road back towards the house I had to pull over on to the verge which was 20cm deep with snow I gunned the car back onto the road, with 2 wheels on the road and 2 in the snow, the rear diff locked and I went forward like a rocket  Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh
