I have been making the most of my cayenne through the latest snow and ice weather - thoroughly enjoying the confidence coming from control in all conditions experienced. I am taking every opportunity to go for a drive... Anyone else been making the most of this weather? |

yep - driven miles this last week - about 600 changed the wheels / tyres over from Pzero's on 20" techno rims to Scorpion Ice & Snow on 18"s The level of grip is astounding, both in the go and stop department ! we have a narrow steepish lane that our drive opens out onto; so far in the first few days of this week I pulled out several cars, including one Jag which had wedged it'self very firlmyl across the road. I'm totally sold on the car now. I liked it beforehand, but this week has really allowed it to shine. I really would reccomend winter tyres for the colder months though - the difference is huge ! |

Excellent - glad to see that someone else is as impressed as me with these machines. I had thought about getting alternative tyres for winter/off tarmac but thats as far as I got. The continental sport contacts are doing fine though - just with more ease on the throttle.... Although - I confess to a rude awakening in the snow last year - when I confindently got the car going only not stop it before the fence - my fault entirely for not using the low ratios. |

yep, it's still a 2.7 tonne bus ! the M&S tyres do help in the stopping department a bit though not sure if low ratios would have saved you there either |

2.7 tonnes! They can really shift for something so heavy. Wonder if the lump would fit in the '44. |
