I have a 2008 model UK Grand Voyager CRD 2.8 fitted as standard with Yokohama 225/65R16 100H tires. I'm going to be using it a lot in the snow this winter (skiing). Would I get significantly improved traction in the mountains using snow tires, compared to the Yokohamas, and if so can anyone recommend some?


They would need to also be OK for high speed (up to 90mph) use for long distances as it is a commute of several hours on fast roads before I get to the mountains.


Thanks


Nigel

Many thanks for that info. Any preference as between those tires, bearing in mind my proposed use (500 mile travel to/from mountains on good fast roads, with travel on snowy roads for a couple of weeks while in the mountains).

 

None whatsoever -- I just Googled it.

Just go through them one at a time the Alpin HP ZP for example has a Speed Index of 130 mph / 210 km/h !
