Anyone Got Any Snow Yet?

Post by n1k85 » Fri Dec 16, 2011 10:35 am

I'm in Wolverhampton and not seen a single flake yet, But all over my Facebook people are saying it's snowing!

Anyone else got any?

(Not looking forward to it! I'm guessing the X5 on 20" Rims and 315 tyres will be about as good in the snow as my 3 series... :oops: )

It was snowing in high ground in West Wales this morning but most of it has gone now

The 315's on 20" we're surprisingly good in last years snow provided that you didn't give it too much welly!!

Had snow the other day, but rained as well.
The car I had before the X was a 530d, I bought this just as last yrs snow was going.
The car before that was a Scoob, and evan on summer rubber it's got through over a foot of snow, and never got stuck. I was the only driver to get out of the cul de sac for a full 3 days, now the X as 4x4 but I here that there not to good, the only difference I can see is the width of the tyres 285 I think on my X vs 215.

But will soon find out, I hope I'm a big kid when it comes to snow.
