thanks for the Pics looks good, how was the 4wd, notice any load bangs or was it just a good fun ride...

No bangs, just a smooth ride. 4wd seemed to work pretty good although it was the tyres that surprised me most. Underneath that snow was ice, and I still had good grip.

Very happy with the performance. The last car I drove in deep snow with that gave me this much confidence was a Land Cruiser. . . so thats pretty good.

Clearance, rather than traction would be an issue if the snow was deaper though.

Are those the Wintersport M3's or 3D's?

I have no idea, I just popped outside and read the side of the tyre... They seems pretty good though!

Maybe one set are runflat winters. . .mine are not so I carry tyre weld in the boot.
