The tyresfitted would really not have helped you, no car can invent grip that isn't there.
AT tyres or winters would make a big difference, that car is still the best part of 3 tonnes - it's not going to be an easy one to stop

i have had my disco three for six months been out in the snow twice and never again, certainly not on the toyo all terain tyres it has on it, i think it is just too heavy, great tow car and motorway muncher tho

tyres make a huge difference - got snow tyres on a mondeo and it sails up the snow covered road to the house no probs, but the wife's 4x4 (not landy) on "normal" tyres is slithering about
