    Nice pics thanks!
    My tyres pressures are 2.5 bar in the front and 3 in the back. Is the difference with you due to the 18in and 19in or is it something else?

    I am confused with the RDK.... When very cold it says about 1.9 in the front, 2.4 in the back. When warm 2.1 in the front, 2.6 in the back. ( normal should be 2,3 front, 2.7 back) But the computer says I am fine with my pressure!! I do not understand this!!!! My dealer just has a smile and reminds me that he tried to discourage me to take this option....

    Nice pics Gnil, thanks very much for sharing.

    But where the hell are you driving around? Over here in the eastern part of the country, we haven't gotten any serious snow yet (which I'm not unhappy about).

    Wouldn't be too worried. Winter tyres should be run with a lower preassure in order to get a better grip.

    This is in the Jura...on the border with France! In the pain, we do not have any snow, but a 30 min drive gets you in these great places!!

    No, no chains..... I would not even think about putting any on the P...., tyres are too wide, the car is too low ( I have -20mm) it must be hell to put them on!!!

    no...92km/h which makes about 65 , no?
    The speed limit is 80 km/h on country roads , so I prefer only to post pics that do no snow any serious speeding

    Actually it's kmh (not mph), road looks quite nicely prepared (the swiss are good at that!) and I assume Gnil as a Switzerland based guy will be an experienced "winter pilot" - so IMO botton line is: great fun - yes scary - no

    However, driving along the same road at 92 mph would be another story

    Each region provides some specific driving pleasures with your P-car - snow in Switzerland, topdown driving even in the winter at your place
