[i]I reckon it's 95% tyres and 5% car. [/i]
You missed out the driver. 😉
I reckon it's about 50% the car, 20% the tyres and the rest comes down to the dickhead with his foot on the pedal.
Honestly. I see cars that would be good in small amounts of snow getting nowhere because the driver simply can't work out that spinning the wheels faster and faster won't make him go forwards.
[i]Seems Hondas are generally not great snow cars [/i]
I'd disagree. I have a 2.2 diesel accord which I find absolutely fine in heavy snow and sheet ice. The back end is a bit twitchy on the corners but it is as long as an oil tanker so that's to be expected.
Worst would be my old Saab 9-3 HOT. Mad as a box of frogs, but with skirts in 2 foot deep snow it became very, very pointless! When it was going it just torque steered all over the shop (actually it did that in the dry too).
Sometimes I actually miss that car.
Best... probably the Vitara I had before the current Outlander. That was actually really quite capable.
