i used to be very against winter tyres 3 years ago , due to my wife being very unconfident driving in snow/ice i invested in some avon super ice touring these are more extreme snow tyres with the pattern of tread being serrated rather than just blocks i fit them in november or when temp drops 7 degc this is the temp that winter tyres start to work(mine anyway) and take them back of rims when temp again rises.
i would recomend anyone to invest in these the differance they make is unbelievable
if you get chance in cold weather feel how hard a normal tyre tread is and then feel a winter tyre the winter will still be soft
another thing winter tyres should be fitted to all four wheels as differance in grip can affect handling .
those still not convinced invest in some and give them a try !
