Having fitted steel wheels and snow tyres last month, woke up this morning to the dreaded white stuff all over the roads. First impressions, and the first time I have used these tyres in snow were favourable. There seemed to be a lot more grip and the car was more stable than I remember on the standard tyres. So that's a thumbs-up then.

I have been using winter tyres for years and I am never tired telling people how they are safe and useful with low temperatures, snow, ice. I think they are among the most important inventions in human history along with pressure pans and washing machines
