tyre pattern - this is where your dollar makes the difference in winter tyres as this is the same principal as you'd expect on summer tyres because it determines how good the tyre will perform if wet/dry/breaking/road noise and so on. we bought the auto express best buy dunlops as they do most all and were £90 each for anyone pondering cost.
Shame on u for making me find this lol
