Snow Beating Lotus Exige With Fabric Wheel Snow Covers

[johnbear]

My brother has just purchased these fabric tyre covers for his Exige from ebay. You wouldn't think they would work in the snow but they really do. I've just taken a vdeo of the car on a steep welsh snow coverted road.

Handy stuff. How long do they take to fit ?

He reversed down to road into the bend so we could test if it could get back up. If it got struck we could then pull it out with the Disco 1 with Mud Crawler tyres. Now that's a vehicle that can go anywhere. Even nipped off road on the way from from the shop for the hell of it today.

Personally I didn't much like my 111R in the wet. I'd never go near it in the snow!
