Tyres & Chains: I have A/T's with M+S logo on them. So not proper winter tyres. Should I be getting proper winter tyres fitted? Chains, I'm guessing some places specify, but this will be at the End of March / Start of April, so do we need them? Do all tyres need to be the same make?

yes they do? i run winter tyres and i am regularly out with friends on bfg at´s and they can do anything i can, of course if your driving on sheet ice then only winter tyres with studs will do the job but they are not allowed in most of europe so unless he wants to take two sets of tyres with him then we would have to find the best tyre for early spring that would also be good in the snow and be legal in the countrys were its a legal requirement in winter conditions, i wonder what tyre that could besyncropaddy wrote:hugomonkey wrote: get yourself some bfg at´s, they are snow rated and will get you through anything
The difference between a BFG A/T and a winter tyre is that with both types you can go almost anywhere in the snow and ice. The thing is try going down an icy hill on a BFG A/T and see what happens!
They dont use 'em in Scandinavia.

Nokian, Cooper, Continental, Goodyear, Maxxis to name but a few. All these guys make a tyre suitable for a Syncro which will be legal in Scandanavia and Northern Europe in winter and are equally suitable as a year round tyre. The Continentals I have on my van are such a tyre
