Would also be interested to see how a car with non-winter but 3 peaks marked AT tyres compares.

I've used winter tyres for several years on my other cars - unless the snow is so deep that it can beach the car, a 2wd car with winter tyres makes a lot of snow a non-event.

That's an old video that shows 2wd and 4wd on both summer and winter tyres.

Who uses summer tyres anyway???Lambert wrote: My bfg urban terrain are 3 peak mountain snowflake road bias all seasons and on the couple of occasions when the snow was touching the diffs engaging 4x4 has been enough to maintain progress. I have to trust that proper winter tyres are even more capable.

You would think, but nonono. Some areas treat snow like it's something that needs to die. Salty salty roads, even in Scandinavia.
