I ran a set of lassa snoways on my mk4 anni, bought them as part worns with 7mm and some 16" steelies, total £258, ran them for 2 winters, sold them with my anni last year for an extra £200. Well worth the money.
Just collected 2 hankook icebears for the ED30, hoping to get hold of two more winter tyres shortly.
The difference is night and day, not only the traction of the mark, but its the braking that is often forgotten about, so much more confidence inspiring. Just hope anyone behind is leaving plenty of space.
