Vredsteins Snowtrac 3...... fantastic tyres
-
Totally agree with you KayakJim, these tyres are fantastic. I'd recommend them to all We've had 8-9" of snow and temperatues of -14 degrees around Manchester and these tyres have done me proud. Top tyres Jon

Looking good the Rosso Red is a very nice colour, welcome to the Scout Clan :yes:

Mine appeared with them ( not that i'm complaining ) I didn't spec them and the dealer didn't have a clue either way Cheers Jon

Scouts are brill in this weather !
kumquat replied to sparky2's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I have to say that I've been amazed with mine over the last couple of days, car feels so planted and stable. Transfer of power is seamless and as some have mentioned a visual indicator would be useful. I had to find a QUIET local car park to test the snowtrac3 tyres... only under spirited acceleration could you feel the power being transfered around...brilliant Jon -
there is a judder when the ABS kicks in, that sounds normal the burning smell is a not right, did you get the smell every time the ABS cut in?

Winter tyres or Winter wheels?
kumquat replied to icarusi@hotmail's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Have to say that over the last couple of days the ol' snowtrac3s have performed magnificantly on the scout. its felt sooo stable and only felt the traction moving around under spirited acceleration (playing on a carpark ). Braking was responsive as well, with ABS kicking in twice. so pleased i took the plunge and went for them, well worth the money (imho) Jon -
you can pretty much guarantee Cheshire won't get much snow....now that i've got a Scout here's hoping...

I'll find out over the weekend..... i remember a thread about it as well, but after a quick search i couldn't find it off topic - could you possibly send/post a couple of pictures of your towbar, i'm interested to see how looks against the scout bumper...thanks Stuart Jon -
