Murray,not trying to get too far O/T but I'm sure Leif will clarify this.
AFAIK in certain parts of Norway,(studded?)snow tyres are mandatory on vehicles at certain times of year,and NO salt on the roads.
Add to that good driving skills.
I think that's why Scandinavia has produced so many good rally drivers over the years.

A friend of mine used to import VW Beetles from that region due to their great condition.
The chrome was usually perfect and rust was negligible.
All thanks to no salt and low humidity levels.
Unlike here in the UK that uses countless tons of salt and an inate inability to drive on the white stuff that has caused the premature death of many classic vehicles.
