Why not just fit some snow tyres in that size. If our Sportka shod with standard sized winter serie 3 can cope with the worst of N Yorkskire moors winters then I'm sure a Puma could.
What tyres are those? Google wont find. I don't need a 4x4 this winter. Although I fear the road salt more
I've given up on the idea of one for now

They were very very good in the snow and the wet - certainly at a depth where the front of the car was acting as a snowplough. Enough for a chap out playing in a FC Landy to ask how the f*ck did you get that thing up here (onto the moor tops) when I pulled up next to him with two labs in the back.
Out of the three winter tyres I've tried (Falken - on an Evo, and some BFGs on an X-Trail, which I slid of the road with) they were by far the best on snow.
I tried to post this before my work laptop crashed earlier:
Anyway I think my winter tyres are 185/60 R14, and they do a pretty good job.

I don't know if the Puma has a full size spare, but if it has then the oversize tyre is unlikely to fit in the boot. I had this with a VW once when I fitted oversize tyres. A PITA.
Puma spare goes under the boot so almost guaranteed not to fit.Edited by Chapppers on Tuesday 20th September 19:19
