A daft snow tyre experiment....

[carat 3.6]

I've never understood all the fuss about winter tyres, partly because in bucks, we only get bad snow and ice for a week at the most. During the past few winters using carefull driving, I have been able to get around perfectly fine with my all season contis. The only time I have got stuck, is when I have had to stop on a hill because some idiot that cant drive has blocked the road.

So this year when the snow get's here, I'm going to fit these...

Whats the worst that can happen?

I'm only going to fit them on the back, there is more room than there looks in the pics.

You'll get pulled for the tread extending past the wings.

They fit under the arches fine, they are only 7" wide.

In which case the worst that can happen is your neighbours will see them

Need to fit them front and rear to get real street cred.

These are the same size as mine: 6.00 x 16 Dumper Tyres | eBay

You obviously love setting the "local boys in blue" a challenge, but I'm sure they will rise to the occasion.

They want to come out to play when it snows, no sense of humour.

I think there might be a slight increase in road noise!, and i'm sure the speed rating (if they even have one) would be very low on dumper tyres but just imagine how smug you would be if it does snow

Now i wonder if there is a half track conversion kit on ebay?
