Nope, I like tyres that do what they say on the tin in full, not do a little of everything

So, after the last 4 years of having significant snowfall, who still thinks that winter tyres are only for people living in the sticks

No, I'm not smug at all

I'll give you that maxi. Maybe all your rallying has caused the UK climate to change because when i was there 2006-2009 in my uni years it really wasnt that cold for long in Egham, Surrey!

I moved here in 2006 and from then until 2009/2010 there wasn't really any significant snow. We could see another 10 years from now without significant snow, who is to say what the climate will do

 

[RobinPJ]

Yup - snowing hard here now on 23 March, a mile from the M25.

Bah! Tis but a dusting!

Have posted a poll to gauge people's thoughts on winter tyres

Feel free to post and vote regardless of your feelings. I very much suspect that views now are rather different to those 4 years ago when we seemed to have almost no snow!
