    Snow Tyres

    Some of the maxsport range are highway legal and at 50 quid a tyre its good value. I think most people would be ok with BFG A/T unless they are doing recovery work like yourself. Impressive difference though between winter and standard AT tyre

    problem with lpg

    What system is it? On some systems, they switch over at certain revs and the switch is for option to run on petrol all the time, or gas, but it will still start on petrol.
