Yes when it comes to snow 32's and 48's aren't the best due to having only 17% tread. I have some spare wheels with rather rugged 145 for snow. But we don't get snow in winter, we just get more rain!

we have also got to remeber the relative weight of the mini to the size of the tyre.

even the best wet weather tyre on a 13 inch wheel will aquaplane anyway , but obvisly some will handle it better than others.

mind you if its raining i always take it easy any way in the mini so not normally a problem.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Maybe you should take your styling ideas off the French instead! "

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
