Probably the best tyre I have ever used. Needless to say my mother was also very impressed as it was much better than her BM, apart from the bouncing about the road due to the suspension 
My Dad's M3 has bridgstone Potenzas on it and in this weather, well quite frankly anything apart from the dry it becomes a white knuckle drive |
I just heard about the snowfall on the news which caused a lot of traffical problems in UK today, not to mention several other countries in Europe like Bulgaria, for instance. Funny though, as it is not even a single snowflake in my place, neither in the air or on the ground.
Are the Yokohama's on your
CTR so-called M+S tyres or friction type? (unstudded winter tyres) Reason for asking is that I assumed dedicated winter tyres for not to be a commom thing over in the UK, as it is not mandatory, unlike here, and due to that not on stock at the various tyre garages.
Oh yes, I can easily understand why a ride your dad's M3 becomes a white knuckle drive, as BMW is one of the very few car makers that (still) stick to
RWD on all their models. That's BMW's trademark, which I'm sure you already knew.
