   In this bad weather are you having trouble with your Eagle F1's
   
   Mine are terrible in the snow, I moved my dads car up the street to get my saxo out the garage and my dads car was fine, drove mine the same way and was really stuggling for grip.
   
   Im almost tempted to put the OZ Super T;s on that Grant Lowery sold me since them tyres look better use. I hate this weather...rant over

   In the snow they're pap, like most low profile wide(ish) tyres.
   
   in the wet they're awesome. In the dry it kinda goes without saying

   Mine is ok in snow tbh, as said no tyre is going to be good in snow apartfrom spiked ones
   
   all about how you drive in snow too, try and use a higher gear and better clutch control

   Agree, I feel theyre worse than cheaper tyres in the snow. As said in wet or dry conditions they grip extremely well. I was going round the inner lane of a roundabout the other day, a car in the outside lane was going much faster than me but I was having to do about 10mph, she was hardly giving it some, because I was getting that awful ice full lock oversteer all the time. Weird feeling going round in a roundabout like that after the way they normally stick.
   
   I spose although the F1s have the immense water ducting so you get top grip in the wet and theyre got a large surface area, because they havent got the random jagged lines of the budgets theyre not as good in ice?
