Background: Live in the city, drive a RWD saloon. Moving to a pretty remote place in farmland. This time of year is no problem, but when the weather inevitably turns testy later in the year I'll be stuck. I don't like being stuck.

Question: If I want to be able to communicate with the rest of the world when there's a bit o' ice, is there a good/cheapish 4x4 that can negotiate the terrain? Doesn't have to be massive or anything like that, just fairly reliable and able to get a bit of initial traction where the current car wouldn't. Or would Winter Tyres do me?

Yeah, unseasonal thread, I'll buy an MX-5 next week to make up for it!

Cheers guys, I feel slightly ashamed of turning this into a winter tyre thread, but at least it's the only one on the first page!

Winter tyres geting the vote so far...
