    as a new owner I wondered what these surfs are like in standard 2wd mode in light snow and ice

    hi,
    like many vehicles tyre choice and condition make a huge difference.

            Tyres and rear diff type will have a big say in this.

            Good tyres + LSD = no need for 4wd in most cases.

                Spot on !

                Decent AT's work fine in snow - apparently MT's are nowhere near as good


                Life is too important to take seriously !

                    I 2wd it everywhere, no lsd and mud tyres, was very controllable sideways.
                    well, that was a bad idea!

                      Didn't MT's used to be called 'M&S Mud and Snow' tyres? No not the super market....

                        The muds on the old 2.4 were superb in the snow. They need letting down a bit mind.
                        Non intercooled nothing.

                          Isn't the "theory" that ATs are self-cleaning and muds allow the snow to compact into the threads etc. Hence some muds being bad on snow?

                          Or something like that

                              I hope we get snow like the start of the year again, I will definitely have a v8 and maybe a self recovery winch by then.
