We went up some really steep unsalted hills last night, some compacted snow and some fresh and not yet driven on. The A8 exceeded expectations. We did the same thing last year with pretty old but M&S marked tyres, this year with 6 month old modern summer tyres which are like slicks with just 4 wide circumfrential grooves, so I was a bit nervous that they would be like sledge runners, but the A8 seemed to take it in it's stride without even breaking traction on any wheel unless it was deliberately invoked, just like driving on carpet really. I would be confident in much worse conditions such as in the Pennines now.

According to the weather reports we had about 3cm to 5cm of snow in our area.
Yeah, right! I think someone is getting confused between inches and centimetres, I measured a flat undisturbed area of our patio at 6" deep! (the S8 on the right had been out and about in the middle of it all)

I think I was unintentionally ploughing when I went out Saturday morning, I took this when I reached my destination which is a 1,000 feet above sea level.
I've only got Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres on but there wasn't a single bit of drama or concern, and I was driving on some roads that hadn't seen a plough or even traffic at that time in the morning.
