    I've got an entry in the vehicle registration document of the Prototipo!

    I am not allowed to put snow chains on the rear wheels ... and we have up to 35cm on the hills ...

    Don't know, but they used Stradale type rear arches on Sweden and Safari because they didn't need the wide tyres.

    In snow and ice you would use the narrowest tyre permitted with studs.................................... some of the Grp4 cars with wide arches used to look stupid with snow tyres on....... there are photo's of Darniche on the Monte going over the Col's
