I have to agree, they make a huge difference, having used them in the US.
As mentioned though, a middle ground is snow socks. Mine have lasted three years so far. Best to avoid motorways with them as I've always stuck below 40 mph with them.
I've not got stuck yet with them on a family saloon. Were great yesterday in the snow on the hills, and left them on for the ice today.
For £50 I'm not sure why everyone doesn't have them?
They are tight on the first fitting, but about 5 mins on or off after that. You do need old gloves though, it is dirty and cold work!
Winter tyres are best definitely, but if not definitely get some socks.
