To be honest it did not have much snow to cope with, although there was about 10 inch of lying snow the gritters had done a great job to keep the main roads in the area clear. With the tyres fitted (Continental sports contact) I would not expect it to be that great in the snow and on the few areas where the roads had not been cleared I did feel the rear end sliding out here and there although it was fairly easy to correct at low speeds. I will probably replace these tyres with a suitable four season tyre when they come to the end of their life.
