Baptism of fire!! (well Snow) was created by just
Picked up my Jimny last Thursday and drove home ever since then it has snowed. I have driven the Jimny in snow more than I have on the road!
I have to say that it is brilliant and well mannered I am much impressed I was a bit dubious with the bad write ups it has had but as I thought they are testing against a road car I have had a Series 3 landy and a 110 county the Jimny is better than both though very similar to the series 3 but faster quieter and warmer.

just need some tyres and wheels for the winter.

I managed to pick up a set of bf goodrich with about 9mm tread on for £60, they have done very well for me in the snow. All depends on your budget really

The Jimny isnt too bad with the standard tyres though in 2wd it has a tendency to slide a little. Is it worse with the bfg's any thoughts on 195 80 15 being more predictable
