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? |
As said, just fitting winter tyres with the better compound and tread will make a BIG difference. Too chunky a tyre as used in off road rallying would not work well on tarmac, which is where they will spend most of their time... Heard good things about the Quatrac.
Depending on what width you are running during the Summer going to a narrower higher ratio tyre also helps as I found out on mine. From sliding around on all fours with 205/50 to almost full throttle take off (with the KV) on the 185 Winter tyres in fresh snow and slush etc...
