Just wondering what the gla 4matic was like in the recent snow we have had , thinking about getting one and trading in my c class estate .
Unless you fit winter tyres, very little difference ....
.Don't know whether its because subaru are permanent 4x4 and most of the newer cars are only 4x4 when the car senses they need it .
I honestly can't believe how we used to get around in the 1960s and 1970s when conditions were bad. According to the internet it just wasn't possible - maybe the laws of physicvs are different.
You may choose not to believe it, but a big part of it is the tyres.
That's a different argument in terms of how you prioritise your choice and spec of car.If you live somewhere which gets bad weather and you need to get about, they make a huge difference and shouldn't be dismissed simply as a fad
You maybe missed my words refering to half decent tyres and sensible wheels.
This is the point which is being missed by the dogma. Put silly wheels and tyres on a 4x4 (or 2Wd) and it's not just winter tyres that would be bertter - so would sensible ones.
Umm.. a 4x4 is all hype.. really? Can you do this in a Merc?

Just saying like...
So we are stuck with silly size wheels and tyres, with a bias to eco treads on many cars, which perform poorly in wintry weather.
I agree. But the OP can't order his GLC on 165/70/13 Goodyear NCTs can he? Even if they are a major contribution to road safety! So we are stuck with silly size wheels and tyres, with a bias to eco treads on many cars, which perform poorly in wintry weather.
