This is getting silly, your opinion is not my fact (rather patronising) and no one said it was 'invincible' if you would have read previous posts. Does 'Informed view' mean your view I assume? Forgive me but a rather cool video has turned into a daft semi-insult campaign.

We live in different areas with different weather and have different needs. Of course tyre choice is fundamental but my choice is normal tyres so the drivetrain becomes important. If I was totally obsessed with maximum car control and lived in an area with poor weather then I would spend the extra money on winter tyres as I might also on lane keep assist, active cruise etc to help avoid an accident. But I have never done it on my AWD cars before and never ended up in a ditch (again - that is my opinion).

If you see me in a ditch, please stop and wave.
