We live in Britain, winter tyres really aren't necessary. They have a place - for a fraction of the year. The outlay simply isn't worth the advantage you will gain!
I've tackled snow-covered roads on some Kumho's this winter that are near the limit. Driving in snow just requires common sense, not a car shod in grippy winter tyres.
It makes me laugh, there are some people mental enough to consider getting an Audi with Quattro or a 4x4 to 'get them through the winter'.
F*ck sake anyone would think we lived in Siberia.
You might change your mind about this ^^^^ if you need to get stopped quickly on cold/ icy/ snowy roads. Getting started, getting up hills is fine, getting stopped when you really need to is when the shit hits the fan on normal tyres.
