Spent last year deliberating the same issue after almost getting caught out by worse than expected snow conditions. Tried my mates set of 16" winter wheels/tyres from his wifes golf and found they ruined the dry weather handling of the car. Most of the winter is spent in normal road conditions even up here in the North of Scotland so didn't want to compromise the car. Picked up a set of nearly new winter tyres on Ebay and swapped them onto my Neptunes for the end of last winter. They weren't the best of brands but do ok in the dry, much better than 16" tyres. Makes a huge difference to the cars abilities in the ice and snow though. Drove across a country road in near sheet ice conditions easily. Do still have a wee bit of a problem initially pulling away on steep slopes, but have never got stuck. The thing I was most impressed with the winter tyres was how well they react to just generally cold temperatures in winter night driving. Was glad to get back onto my Vredestein Sessantas when the temperature increased in the spring though and now have a 2nd hand set of 18" rims to stick the winters onto in November once the cold weather comes back. Saves on the £50 twice a year to swap tyres over and have the value of the wheels to sell when I change cars.
