If you put them on a different car (ie. a 950cc fwd thingy) and get them in as thin a size as possible then they might be ok but on a scoob, unless you go for winter tyres then you can forget it.....great for traction but forget it when you try to brake or turn a corner
Doesn't matter what summer tyre you buy as the scoob is cr4p in snow on such tyres as tyres are too wide and too much power and alot of people on here pull out the ABS fuse in snowy conditions ...

I reckon I'll be replacing my tyres around the end of September and looking at all the info here on SN, I'm going to go for F1's to replace my Bridgestone 225/45/17's.
One thing I haven't read too much about here is how the F1's go in the snow. As you guys got a bit of the white flakey stuff last winter, I was wondering what your experiences with F1 boots on in the snow are.

i had one or two days of snow experience in mine and they were quite good. As long as you're not expecting absolutely superb traction that is.
As far as I remember they were good on uncleared roads, chomping through the snow to the road surface.

Goodyear do a range of dedicated winter tyres as do toyo.
I plan to use my original 16's for winter with a set of toyo snow-prox, got sick of constantly facing the wrong way to where I was going during the winter
