At the risk of sounding daft, how do the RRS's fare in the snow on normal road tyres?

This is my first big 4x4 so its still new to me. Had my impreza out in the snow in the past and needless to say that was bags of fun

Hi fellow scouser. I also had an impreza STi a few years ago and didn't find it great in the snow but the RRS is awesome in the white stuff. Just be careful though as physics will always win and with 2.6 tonnes on top of snow it will still take some time to stop.  TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

Alright lad haha, I had a version 4 STi and it was great in terms of going somewhere big, empty, open and doing 4wd donuts

I'll be sure to take the slow and steady approach if we get some weather  Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

We all grew up.........

The last big snowfall 2010?? I went up to Glasgow one night and I was the only car on the road. I was on way to see frankie boyle in concert and being a tight jock, no policeman was going to tell me st stay at home that night!

I gave a demo to a neighbour round about then, stuck the car in grass/gravel/snow, planted the pedal and pulled out of the junction, and it just calmly pulled away, it didn't do anything it didn't want to. On snow it is just amazing, bring it on!!!
