And as you're preparing for snow, we're preparing for a weekend of 35C+ (95F) temperatures.

Mine will go on today.

Tony, even if we on the northern hemisphere, now and then, will have a bit of a problem with snow - at least we do not have to live upside down

Well Andy, as you know I got the car last april, and I have already driven..........
you wont believe it..... 7000 kilometers.

It is crazy, but I often use my wifes Juke. It is more practical in the city , and it doesnt drink so much as my X3...

We we get a bit of snow - some years, but we often go up on to the moors too.
I find them much better grip in the wet when it is cold too.... and the cost in not that great as youre sharing the tyre wear - so done 30000miles and still on 1st sets of tyres..
