Thanks Boomer and Mitch for the good advice. And cheers Deasy for your psychological insight.

Dear James. It has been demonstrated that winter tyres do indeed stick better to ice than standard or indeed all season tyres. Cheers. PS please don't swear. No need.

Are you two going to start insulting each others mums next? Sorry, your right, I should keep out of this. Just out if interest do either of you know anything about winter tyres for landrover defenders? It's just that was the question I started out with. Cheers.

Hi. I couldn't sleep worrying about you both. Seriously I don't think I'll bother posting another question. Stop insulting each other and go to bed. It's late.

Ok. Off to bed now. Sleep tight.

Sweet of you goonarmy. Precious. Just precious.

Sorry goonarmy. I didn't realize there was a second troll online. Anyway, bait away. Does it help you feel better about things.

It's your life Daz. If you gain pleasure from talking to people on forums in a way that you wouldn't dare down the pub then that's all about you, and nothing about the person your 'baiting' Bye.

Like I said, nice to have a hobby.

Daz! Good to hear from you again. Checking out my profile? How sweet of you. Anyway, have you anything positive to say? Or do you just enjoy insulting people over the Internet. Still it's nice to have a hobby.

Absolutely. You don't need to tell me the benefits of winter compound. The difference is amazing. That's why I'm so amazed that there isn't a 235 85 16 winter tyre available in the uk market. So I'm still looking for anybody to offer advice on a winter tyre that will fit on fender alloy rims or...

Thanks mikescuba. That's what we really want, solid advice from someone with experience of the situation, and not just a load of insults masquerading as ill informed opinion. Sorry, I went on a bit of a rant there. Anyhow, I'll look into the test you mentioned, and the GG AT's. though the GG...

Well done Defender-90DAZ. Ive searched high and low for a winter tyre to fit. Unfortunatly BF Goodriches own site does not list this tyre as a winter tyre. ooooooooh! The Bus idea is starting to sound favourite Cheers

Thats a stunning link. Thanks SnowmanV8 Anyone who says winter tyres dont make a difference on ice realy dont know what they are talking about. and the heavier the vehicle the more important it is to have propper winter tyres. Not Mud and Snow M+S tyres, not all season Tyres but proper Winter...
