French / Swish Alps - to prepare or not to prepare?
Discussion
I'm heading down to the French / Swiss Alps for a few days skiing at the end of the year and I can't think of any better way of getting there than in the Porker (apart from a helicopter which I can't afford).
Now I could buy some winter tyres to use instead of the practical Pzero Rosso's I have, or I could buy some snow chains, but on the few occassions I have done similar trips, admittedly to Austrian (lower) ranges that are are not prone to snow in early season, my regular tyres have been just fine.
So what do you guys think for a trip to the French / Swiss Alps - chance it with regular tyres, or am I definately going to find snowy roads and need to spend the dosh and go prepared to avoid expensive slides?
