Stupid question but do you really need them ?? If you live in town then maybe not ..I've looked into it myself and for the amount of time we get snow in the Midlands it didn't really seem worth it ..now I know winter tyres work really from below 5 degrees where as summer tyres start to loose it at below these temps ..but it's still a bit of an outlay ?
sent using my own fingers
Different strokes for different folks mate, I know in the winter, the roads
I drive are going to be covered in snow/ice/slush, they are also going to include inclines and declines - I've tried summer boots on those roads and it's been extremely sketchy, easily halving my speed limit. The same roads on winter boots is like comparing it to a summers day in the rain; uneventful.
But Summer tyre users do hold you up, lol.
After 5 mins of waiting they pulled over, and the winter booted GTI pulled away with little to no wheelspin... WTF.. I feel for the van drivers because they were clearly not going to make those rounds that day, BUT it may make their employers stick some winter stickys on for them!!
