Spent a couple of days up in the Lake district , woke up to snow and ice 
I've got 19" Pirelli scorpions on (snow and ice), they performed very well I managed to get up a very steep slushy hill that a Merc GL couldn't get up ,
On route to Buttermere, on empty snow cover roads it was doing well until a slight incline with fresh snow and ice underneath , even in low ratio and long lock it couldn't get grip. but as the tyres only have under 5mm of tread it could be why , it seems they need a minimum of 7mm to work properly in snow!
I am still surprised at how well it handles round tight twisty bends, it beats most saloon sports cars I have had, it's almost to easy, you have to hold it back, to avoid going round a corner to fast.
