They'll save you a lot of hassle if you're doing a road trip in the mountains in winter! Seriously, just get some - you'll have way more grip and be way safer when it does get marginal. You will only rarely need to put the chains on too.

Ignore the outdated nonsense that's often spouted about winter tyres - modern ones are brilliant; high speed rated and will last for several winters. Wouldn't have thought they'd cost the earth in "camper van size" either.

HTH - bloody jealous actually. :mrgreen:

Have five stars - and bon ski to you too!

highlander65 - can you turn your caps lock off please. Ta.

Pablo covered the essentials - make sure it fits your head and goggles. I think most brands are unlikely to be cheaper in resort now (due to our currency being in the pan) so if you can find one (that fits) in the UK then that'll be one less thing to do once you get out there.

As said, I think we've done the helmet / hat thing so any further replies please restrict yourself to advice for the OP on where to buy.

Keep it civil please. More photos?
