Even on the 13s it hasn't got stuck anywhere or not got up a hill even when much newer cars are struggling i plod along fine.

its actually better with smaller wheels in snow.

Might dig my 13" steelies out to put on the front of the car

Im thinking exactly the same! eagle F1's are not coping with ice mounds

Next question is, Do sport alloys fit over 2l brakes?

The corsa went in to have some bits done the day before it started snowing, so it's safe and sound

The combo van has been losing trim all over the shop and was stuck in gear this morning... I assume something frozen as it freed up after sitting with the engine running for a few mins.

Front spliter was hanging off the other day so it got lobbed in the garage. Ive got 195, 15s on my corsa, would you say its worth stickin on 14 steelies? Haven't had too many problems getting about hence the reason the steelies have stayed off.

I have 195/50/15 and on ice its ok, but when there is at least 2 inches of snow it's bad

my sister went up a hill from her flat in Seicento with standard rims no problem.... i spent a while with a spade diging myself out... Her BF on other hand just went sideways in his BM... out trip to asda was fun yesterday too... I love RWD and snow!!!

Running them aswell they are fucking horrendus. If you look at the tread it just fills up with compacted snow and you end up essentially running slicks

The Focus is just fine, better with the ESP off when trying to get up a hill though for some reason?

fine. few scary moments but nothing bad.

windscreen clears easy, car starts up easy, heaters come on quick

and very very dirty. don't plan on cleaning it for a while yet so it can be a slag.

i always keep my esp off mate. can't get to grips with it for some reason.

needs to stay off in the snow or it'll just cut the power and you'll go no where.
