Unless you are local you will not be aware of the Manchester Road climb out of Burnley. I have driven coaches up there in snow with cars abandoned all over the road, and even been able to restart after being forced to stop by sliding vehicles. Without the use of chains and we don't put "winter" tyres on. I have driven all over the Alps on winter tours, only occasionally having to resort to chains, but then usually due to ice not snow.

Then again "Quatro" means bags of grip.


All totally subjective.

Well said Ray, it's more down to the driver than the tyres

I've got a set of Acceleras on mine at the moment, bought from Roberto, and chosen because of budget at the time and the urgency to replace the Vredesteins which were close to being illegal.

I've pushed them hard in all conditions and they haven't failed yet. They look okay too, so it's been a worthwhile experiment for me.
