I now don't have to worry about black ice, sheet ice, compacted snow, snow or low temperatures.
And summer tyres wear faster in the winter, cos they get brittle. (wrong compound for the conditions you see). So I get about 150000 miles out of 2 sets, instead of 60 thousand out of one.
the only down side is the initial purchase.

60,000 miles on one set of tyres
I get about 11,000, must learn not to press so heavy on the pedals.
Never had winter tyres, but keep on contemplating getting some for my scooby.
