Is the Discovery Sport smaller than my present Freelander 2? I looks like it. I am wondering whether to swop my FL2 for a DS, but I am unsure.
Any thoughts or advice? |

Have just replaced my Conti winter-tyres with new Conti winter- ... |

1 meter of snow, -ok, I agree, that is a little much. But 50 cm if the snow if it is not too packed, -that is possible. I have done that with my FL2. But perhaps that's the limit?

Yes, we get it, you don't like chains. 
I have no dislike for chains, -I just dont see the need when you have a FL2. Other cars, X3 and such, may need chains....  |
