What would it take to improve your memory if sliding the back out repeatedly fails do it?
I reckon a fancy time machine that reversed my age by 20 years would improve my memory no end.
My point is that when going in a straight line you get used to a lot of front-end grip from the autosocks and it fools you into thinking you can corner faster than you can. You can’t. Judging what speed you can corner without the back breaking out is dead tricky. But it’s all sub 30 mph and can all be sorted out by opposite steering to counter the slide. Perfectly in control and quite a giggle.
BTW. folk who doubt the efficacy of winter tyres have not tried them. The issue for me buying and storing wheels. I think in DE/AUT, the garage stores the other tyres and swaps them over for you when you have bi-annual services. I would deffo go for that.
My GF just got back from the French Alps, and her opinion is that the French are far worse winter drivers and even less prepared than we are.
