Among those of you who recklessly() use their Cerb in winter, do you change your tyres?
which size/make?

Hi Thom, took the cerb out today as the old Jeep blew up fortunatley at home. Still a lot of snow and ice up here and was pretty pointless going forward at any speed greater than idle, newish SO3s on all round, about 1k mileson them. Driving very slowly but back end kept flipping out. In the wet the SO3s are great, also on my last car had Avon directional tyres on, very good grip but very soft and did not last too long.

I use my cerb for normal driving - had it about a month now still love it taken it out in every type of weather. As long as you drive it with a bit of thought there's no problem what so ever. Certainly would not bother swapping out tyres just wear out the ones you've got the car will slip and slide no matter what you put on - just drive it to the limits of the rubber you have left and enjoy it!

I drive mine all year round and am currently holding off fitting a new set of SO2's. Having too much fun with semi slicks on it the lovely weather we've been having. Treat yourself and learn the kind 'a car control that you usually can only practice at silly speeds. Most damage I did was last winter when I scuffed the wheels.
