Well worth the investment make's life a lot safer in poor weather and snow conditions
Just remember there are limitations about were you can go even with winter Tyres

With my Mercedes Vito a must

I tell our drivers that they are a get you out of the [edited by admin] aid and not to take liberties with them.

Grandad,

They're compulsory inmost of Europe and as the winters seem to be getting progressively worse, I'd say they're a great investment. For anyone thinking of getting a set then there are some discount vouchers for Halfords to be found here.

taxi!

I always stick Winter Tyres on my Cars and run them until they need Changing, They can be as cheap as or even cheaper than summer tyres and have good grip in the dry and work well in the wet.

Thanks for the advice, Im not sure about the legalities concerning winter tyres, however I followed the above advice and bought some online, couldnt find any suitable from Halford though, I bought mine from TyreShopper using a discount code from this place instead. Thanks for the tip!!!

Weve had little snow or frost this winter, what would 4 winter tyres and 4 wheels to put em on cost?

i think i can live without them this being my 41st year driving....

I put winter tyres on the fronts of my cars in 2012/13 and again 2013/14. Not much help this time round, but an absolute boon in the previous winter when it snowed. We were the ONLY firm working round here, and the only ones able to get round almost everywhere. Didn't bother with the rears as the cars are front wheel drive autos!

Sound's like your working with this setup

But for the full benefit see you tube : 2 winter tyres vs 4 winter tyres

Not working with any set-up, sorry to say. I've used winter tyres on the front only for the last 3 years now and not had any trouble with handling, even in blizzards and deep snow. The only time I lost the rear end on the Toyota hybrid was on a roundabout in a blizzard, but the front knew where it needed to go and it carried on going.

Business trebles round here when it snows as most people don't know how to drive in it.

I'll stick to normal tyres. If the daft bastards can't walk to the end of the street they're not getting a Taxi.

you are aware that winter tyres are normally CHEAPER than summer tyres.

Can't see the point of winter tyres.

Why the f*** would anyone want to work in snow and ice?

Sit indoors and then work like a c*** when the ice and snow is gone.
