Hi - welcome to my first post on this board :idea:
I've considered winter tyres before - colleagues who chose them for company cars in the past have sworn by them - but I felt that the 4x4 traction on the Superb Combi was adequate. At the same time I recognise that often the bigger problem is stopping, not traction. Whilst we don't get so much snow here nowadays we do get plenty of cold rainfall and stopping a 1.7 tonne Kodiaq in cold standing water is different to bringing the lighter, lower Superb Combi to a halt.
I can see that this board has members from all sorts of locations where winter tyres are common, or even mandatory, so I thought that I would ask for some recommendations or comments about what's available. Alternatives which I'm considering include;
Continental WinterContact™ TS 850 P
Hankook i*cept Evo 2
I see that the Michelin CrossClimate SUV is now available in 19" diameter but only 235/55 R19.
What are your preferred Winter tyres and why?
