Wrong tires for the season

I was wound up into a shouting at the telly rant at this evenings news broadcast when an Aberdeenshire farmer said he could not understand why his Mitsubishi pick up truck ended on it`s roof in a ditch whilst towing a horse box at " I was only doing 45 - 50 mph " downhill on frozen snow .
there were many clips of upturned cars .
typical of aberdeenshire in any weather . folks up there drive at crazy speeds .

Bonnie Scotland. Nice weather up there, I used to run an MR2 when I lived there, snow or shine, no problem!

Great roads and terrific landscape.

Still miss that but not the temps.....

I live in a narrow Glen where the sun peeks between hills for about an hour ( when the sky is clear ) in midwinter .
the Glen is a cold well .
hate having to fix the car in winter .
if the city temps are , for example 0 c . we get - 6 c . if we are lucky .
permafrost for weeks at a time .
