MartinK Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Brilliant! Not the first time either, as I've owned the Disco since it was new in 2002. However recently replaced the worn-out BFG AT's with Grabber AT2's. The new rubber certainly works a treat in the white stuff. We have about 8" of snow here in the car park, and the Disco chugs straight through, no issue, no drama - whilst all the "normal" cars are struggling to get going. Yep, certainly great weather for smug Disco owners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bareld Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 My Disco has Cooper Discoverer M+S to keep the traction going. Great to have a disco in this weather.

teabag Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Brilliant! Not the first time either, as I've owned the Disco since it was new in 2002.

Yep, certainly great weather for smug Disco owners! Thats because modern "normal" cars have low profile tires for wet grip on corners and at high speed, performance is more important than a few days of snow when my Accord could not move. My neighbour with is RRS did not have the grip I had with my disco's standard Goodyear tyres even with his traction control and a locking rear diff all because of the 19" wheels and that band of rubber.

matt bristol Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 took the disco out last night which was an interesting event. I still haven't replaced the front diff so it was only rear wheel drive which = much fun in snow. It was also a bit un-nerving as its quite prone to nudersteer at the best of times since becoming 2 wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 we have had lots of snow except the disco died on Saturday night, something horrible has occured in the back axle, I had to walk about 2 miles home and the smug smile I had all day was certainly now gone and I was back to cursing those 4x4 drivers swooshing past me in their warm trucks!!!
