Test av vinterdekk 2012 - NAF
here is one tyretest, but in norwegian. googlish it :)
you need snowtyres anyway, because even in 40km/h you have 20m longer brakingzone with summertyres. imagine in 8:)
and its nice to have some grip when you will pass those, probably with summertyres....
ah yes, Jukka Antila from Test World. Thanks ! :up:
But the thing is DKJ, you are generalizing too much in this case.Quote:

This means that the variations in climate and weather is actually quite big which also means that the winter roads
you are talking about aren't that common in the southern half the country.
Since even if there is lots of snow (which is far from certain) the larger roads are usually cleared and
those roads that are not cleared eventually becomes very icy.
Of course it's a generalisation, you have more snow and ice and lower temperatures in general. "Standard" winter tyres are different to "Nordic" winter tyres for these general reasons. :)
Why do my snow tyres keep melting in the sun? ;)
Well I got my winter tyres fitted on Wednesday (Pirelli W160) and am far from convinced :s Maybe it's just going back to narrower 13" steel wheels but the understeer around dry roundabouts is horrific :s
Of course, it's now meant to get slightly warmer over the next few days, that's my fault :p :
Have had few beers with Jukka during the dark period of my life :DQuote:
