Fantastic tires.
During the recent snow I twice drove from Portsmouth PO8 to Bracknell via A3M, Selbourne, Alton, Odiham, Harley Whintney, Sandhurst return.
I could not believe how many cars, vans and lorries I passed which were either completely immobilised by the snow or were making almost no headway at all.
Between the A3 and Selbourne which is a back road there is quite a steep hill which last year in the snow stopped me and lots of others. This year there were about 7 cars and vans stopped between the bottom and three quarters up the hill. With my winter tires and a little timing I set off up the hill to the amasement of all the stuck drivers and just drove straight up to the top! The rest of the trip was sureal as there were almost no other vehicles on the road only the odd 4x4 most of which seemed to be struggling more than me in my soft top front wheel drive TT.
My only dissapointment, I don't seem to be able to source them in 205 50 17 for my wifes Mazda 3 Sport.
I can not praise these Continentals enough, if you are thinking of buying winter tires think no more just go and buy them!
