Definately – although it would be great to have more snow nowadays to justify them a bit more.
Had a spare set of wheels with Toyo Snowprox tyres for my old car – fantastic grip in the snow and slush. Limit was typically when the car bellied out on the snow.
My wife has some Hankook Snowbear for her car – not so great in snow as the Toyos but an excellent 'just in case there is snow' tyre.
Recently changed my car so once I get another set of wheels then likely tyres will be Nokian (Finns must make good winter tyres – no?).
If anyone is in N East Scotland and wants 4 x 195/50 x 15 winter tyres on Renault Clio 16v alloys (4 x 100 pcd and which I had on my Golf but also fit some Vauxhall) then give me a shout.
