I have driven several different cars with winter tyres on when I lived over in Germany. They are great & make it much more like driving in ‘normal’ conditions.
I lived in a pretty hilly part of Bavaria and never once felt like I was going to get stuck or have an issue with traction.
I looked at getting winter tyres for my car, but keeping the same wheels, the only tyres I can find available in the size I need are >£100 each!
I could opt for the mytyres deal of winter tyres fitted to steel wheels and drop down to a smaller rim size (assuming the caliper on the front will not foul), but even that is looking at costing £480.
Unfortunately in the run up to Christmas, having just paid for my insurance and having my air-con pump need replacing I can’t really afford to spank £500 on winter tyres…..will just have to be extra careful!
ivantate – what size tyres did you manage to get 4 off for £280?!
Buy part worn then for this winter, even if it’s just two.
