Bengi Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We get very bad winter snow in our village and last year had to buy a set a michellin crossclimates so that we could manage the hill to our home, this was when I had my Passat estate. im looking to get prepared for winter in the next few months, so as I have the powershift gearbox firstly how does this fare in the snow? and does anyone recommend the use of socks or tyres and if so what are you guys running? i must add the crossclimates were fantastic allowing me to sail up hills past most cars.

TangoDaz Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I used snow socks this winter and they worked a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frembrit Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If you were happy with the cross climate tyres all year round then go for those again, otherwise another set of wheels and winter tyres. I use 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in the summer and 18" Continental Wintercontact TS 850 P in the winter. We don't get much snow down here, but it got me through the last two lots earlier this year 🙂 when the majority got stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
