Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 are apparently suggested for winter on the rear.

I have had very good results from my Dunlop Winter Sport M3's, albeit on other vehicles. I am not so sure I would drive this one in these conditions. Be sure you have a full set and not just the rears as this dramatically affects the balance of the car in these conditions if you do not!

I can't wait to see an M 12 with snow-chains!

I drove my 3R through out the winter last year and in the snow earlier this year..... it was entertaining to say the least. My previous Esprits had never been that bad coping with a few inches of snow, but comparitively I the the Noble sits much "flatter" on its tyres and there is a much greater tendancy for it to float on top of the snow rather that cut through it. Zero throttle and coasting I found was the only way to negotiate islands and bends of any significance. I also came across one hill I was unable to actually get all the up - and after many attempts had to turn round and find an alternative route!

Still who says having fun in one of these cars is just about going fast!
