5 miles,
I've been a bit slow replying because I've been out shovelling the white stuff.
You need all weather tyres (not snow tyres)such as Michelin Pilot Alpine,or similar.They are designed to run when the temp is below +10c,in the wet,dry,or snow.They are worth every penny,and might save your neck on a greasy road.Get a spare set of steel rims,and you can use them over several winters.A 4x4 on baldy tyres isn't what it's cracked up to be.Just a heavier out of control sledge.
In Germany for example,it's the law that you use all weathers in winter.Lots of people have them in this neck of the woods.
After all in F1 when it rains,they change tyres.With a standard car tyre in snow,the groves fill up,and it becomes a slick.
Anyway I'll crawl back into my igloo,and watch the experts slither around,complaining as usual.
