Winter driving in the snow with a Cobra IS exciting!

Yes Jim you're correct they used winter tires and not the rain tires shown in the pre clip.
Besides that, these cars have ABS and Traction Control with a 4cly engine. That means your challenge to drive your Cobra on a real road is much higher. Hands down - I salute you.

Growing up in Germany (Black Forrest) I had my share of snow and driving. Up there in Nuerberg was it never -15 degree Celsius during a sunny winter day. -18.6 was their record during a stormy night.
Just fun to watch, but it is what it is "TV".
