South of UK - Winter wheels thoughts

[f1eng]

I guess there is a risk if you fit winters, everyone in their average cars will be rear-ending you when it gets cold!

That is the problem in the UK in winter, so few people have winter tyres you are continually concerned by cars tobogganing towards you or blocking a route you can easily follow because they can’t.

It is most annoying but I still feel safer being in control of my car even when loads of people aren’t.

Nominal stopping distances are just that too. One of the Michelin senior engineers I worked with in F1 told me they make low grip tyres for some SUVs so they slide rather than roll-over in order to pass sagety regulation tests. The side effect is long braking distances

60-0mph 107 feet. - edit: 107 feet x 1.12 to adjust for winter from your diagram.
