Winter tyres are great. They are made of a different type of rubber and have a different tread pattern. Some makes come with small metal studs in them but I dont think that type are allowed on UK roads.
Survived 4 winters in Sweden where it was made law to sue them between certain times of year after a big fatal accident in 1998. As someone said, they are a good investment since they last for a number of years due to the fact that wear is minimal.
The biggest thing is to get a second set of rims (not always easy) so that if necessary you can change them at home. One guy I know had to keep going to a garage and get them to change the complete type!!
