I'm guessing it's my tyres, everyone else on the road seems to grip so much better than me who seems to struggle to find any grip in this snow.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asyms.

Eagles assy's in the snow and ice are poop that's why I took my alloys off and put steelies on with sum mud and snow tyres on plus doesn't matter if the steels catch a kerb aswell

I have the goodyears on my tolly 20vt and they dont grip at all. Excellent in dry and wet as everyone says.
I want some 19s this year when these tyres are ready for renewal.:D

I also have Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric on at the moment, they do really suck in snow/ice.
But have booked for some ContiWinterContact TS 830P which should sort this out :eek:)

Well, I wanted those or the Michelin Pilot Alpin 3, but had the best offer on the conti's.

The Conti's should be optimized for ESP

Had some lack of grip with my Eagle F1 asym. with 3" of slush. Had to get pushed up the hill on our street, thanks to 3 neighbours, cheers guys. 2mm of tread didn't help. Getting new F1's tomorrow, they were ok last time i got them, april 09. Even when on the snow/slush when going boardin at nevis range, crossing rannoch moor etc.
