But none of us have a particularly lairy car which would necessitate winter tyres - this is the point I'm making. It's pointless on a 306.
If you can't drive a 306 in the snow on 195 tyres then it's not winter tyres you need, it's tuition and a dose of common sense.
Also, it was very snowy just 3 days ago. Now, the road surface is bone dry. Winter tyres have an accelerated wear rate as they have a much softer compound and a different material makeup. This means that on dry road surfaces they will wear out quickly - totally eliminating the theory that they're cost effective...
But carry on...
