honestly , these are not cheap things.. so I recommend winter tyres , which is more practical and eliminates
 
stopping and preperation.. but if you live on a steep icy hill or your commute includes steep hills , either you use studded tires or these materials :-\

Thanks for the link Cem. Reckon you're right, these look a bit more serious than i really need. Might look for a set of wheels and part worns......or just sling a 25kg bag of road salt in the back and use when needed - its the cheapest option @ £10 odd a bag.

I picked up some snow socks in ASDA for £35. Seen plenty of videos on youtube. They look ok. For £35 I though they are worth having in the boot in winter.  :y

I was speaking so someone who used them - briefly. Took a few seconds for them to get shredded. Not sure if that was a seat/pedal interface problem or a reflection on how useful they are generally. ::)
Not to mention ripping off the brake pipes/abs sensor and bursting the cv boots when they shredd.
Oh landrover in Edinburgh are selling them for 4x4's   :o ::) ;D
