Winter tyres

[scooterscot]

after driving in the Scottish Highlands last winter in a VW Golf hire car with standard tyres and slip sliding everywhere even though I was going extremely slow, using low revs, a high gear etc. and comparing that experience to driving as normal in mid winter in Sweden in a Saab with winter tyres on, I'd say the cost of winter tyres is nothing compared to the safety and ease of driving.

I see it a bit like walking in the snow wearing shoes with polished soles compared to sensible winter footwear
