I have managed  45 winters without them , so why waste money on bull**it.

I have managed  45 winters without them , so why waste money on bull**it.

They are not bull in my opinion, having driven my Omega in Austria/Germany/France in thick snow, with Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's they do work and work very well indeed 

The problem is out winters are not consistent enough to warrant their use, otherwise if they were we would not get the scenes of chaos every few years.

No need for winter tyres in this country, and there never has been.

Driver care and attention is all that is required.

I shall buy a set of winter tyres the day I buy a car/lorry/bus/tractor that runs on derv.

Exactly not needed in our country, driver care & attention which unfortunately a lot of drivers lack, is all that is needed. Waste of money in my opinion.

Surely that depends on where about in the country you stay!   

I use a set of winter steel wheels which are now on there 3rd winter outing.
I must admit, they have been a great deterrent to the worst of winter weather since I bought them.   
Much more sure footed in the cold frost roads, far superior to summer's.

Each to their own though, and if you don't think they're worth it that's fine!

If I lived up your way, I would make sure I put them on the wife's car, at least. It would probably take a couple of scary moments before I gave in though.

No, but did put the snow chains in the car as was off camping for the weekend.

Had frost one night and half inch of snow the next, but no chains needed luckily.

SWMBO has a 4x4 and doesn't feel the need for them. 

I have a 100 mile journey for Aberdeen for the start of the working week, and my journey is earlier than most snow plough drivers, so winters have come in handy a few times!

We have probably not seen the worst of the winter yet.
