snow, snow, snow

[Ian Simmonds]

It started off not too bad down in Sussex,





This was about midnight.

But by around 2am Eastbourne way was getting a bit of a pasteing.

I was out Ghost engine running... Which basically involves rushing about on your own with a loco all night trying not to get stuck.

Quite an enjoyable pastime really...

Well you do enjoy the snow guys do you?

Place it's on the italian alps a week ago.

By the way, talking about Nokians winter tires...
I encoutered a very strange (and scary) issue on Nokians of my RS2 (WRG2 brand new and fresh DOT) on wet roads, the car on wet becomes dangerous to say the least, sliding at 30kmph like a sled, very uncomfortable feeling, I heard of the same problem residing on faulty batch of Nokian tires, do you swedens now anything about it?

Tires are just perfect as usual on snow the issue it's just on wet.

Thanks Stefano

That sounds really strange, but as for spikeless tires they are always worse then those with spikes. But your problem was on wet surface and not ice and snow surface.

Sounds like a bad batch in that case... I drive same in summer as in Winter here in Sweden.

But then I use either Hakkapelitta 7 / Michelin X-Ice North 2 or Gislaved Nordfrost 5
Those 3 specific tire model are my favorites for a comfy feeling with low road sound and super grip on snow and ice. Have better grip on these tires then my summer crapy Nangkan Ns2, will probably change them to Toyo T1 Sport
