Snow on roads: MTRs or Scorpions?
Which tyres, MTRs or Scorpions, will be better on snowy roads?

I could be a little biased, but for grip its got to be the MTR's. Hence the mud and snow block pattern. Having done nearly 1000 miles over the last 5 days, up and down the country, i've not been stuck yet. Although on ice once you get 2.7 ton sliding nothing's going to save you.

My ATRs have performed brilliantly in deep snow and on slippery roads in Buxton in the last couple of days, and they're fantastic on the roads when the conditions are good too. And Glynne did very well on them in the sand in October.
So I guess that would make them the best all rounder.
