Its all down to the sipes - all them little edges give great grip in snow and ice. Know many a person who use similar type tyres for events like the Monte carlo challenge, Classic Marathon etc which all cross the Alps in winter in historic rally cars, its these sort f tyres that keep central and northern europe moving all year round wen the UK grinds to a halt after the first inch of snow has fallen.

Best hope there's no decent offroad stuff though Steve cos you'll be stuffed in mud.

Thats where the TOD drive comes in - and the SWB helps
Been off road a few times without any problems
But then again there are a few less capable vehicles taking part too
