My neighbour has a berlingo the same as mine, we both live up a steep rough gravel track that leads to our cottages, when it snows, the track becomes impassable, both Blingos will not even get 1/4 way up the track before sliding to a halt, even the young lad in the post van cannot rally up the hill, last year however, with 3 inches of snow on the track, my neighbour bought 4 wheels from a scrap yard, and got snow tyres fitted and put them on his car, now, to be honest I laughed at the idea that he thought he would get up here in snow with these ordinary looking tyres, they didnt even look the part, but to my total surprise he came straight up no bother at all, I was amazed, he carried on coming up in all conditions all winter as my car was parked at the bottom on the main road.
