hummm.. I was thinking of something a little more along the lines of an off road tire? or perhaps semi off road.

Because of where i live I have to travel up and down hills on country lanes that in all likely hood , if it were to snow, no one else will have been before me (or at least partially) .

No gritters or snow plows ever come as far as my house, so i was thinking of something with tread a bit more extreme that can offer traction thru deep snow?

something more like you would expect to see on an '4x4/off roader' rather than a car.

any ideas?
