This should get interesting. My car sits in the garage for the winter. With the hill I live on, wouldn't matter what I had on the car as I'd never get the car out anyway if there was snow on the road.

For winter driving use the original runflats...they have M&S rating. Years ago I was at an autocross with my BFG's on when it started to snow. Changed to my runflats and took FTD by a big margin.

I just bought a set of NT05's. Clearly, I won't be doing any driving this winter...

86F today in Queensland, Australia, the land of endless summer. I do feel sorry for those who have to put up with snow, sleet, slush and ice.
