Time to reduce tyre pressures I think, Bally!


I've driven in a lot worse conditions than these but always in a fwd car. Haven't had to drive a rwd car in the snow before, but I've gotten rid of all the other cars and now the only car I have is the e60- Am not looking forward to finding out what it's like!!!

Looks like the snow'll be gone by Monday, so I might not find out just yet. Wouldn't mind doing some doughnuts though!

Crap, that's not what I want to hear! Hence I was thinking reducing the pressures would be a good preemptive move...

Trust me i was one of the people driving before the roads were even gritted or driven on. I was going up a dual carriage way before it joined the motorway and the car kept slipping ans wouldnt go up the hill as blood said it is very scary i had to get a friend to keep the back end of spinning out by keeping it pushed from the side eitherwise it kept going near the pavements with out doing that a 40 minute journey took 4 hours because of the snow and ungritted roads

i even saw a merc go flying off the motorway in front of me and in fell into a ditch and was turned on its side

In a rwd car its scary better to leave the car at home or try some snow tyres

Id be scared to lower my tyre pressure as i have 20" alloys with a 30 profile

Fwd cars were driving fine think putting some weight in the boot will help as the back will sit on more closer on the road and snow

Four wheel drive scoobys must we fun
