Sadly over here in 'sunny' England we are not usually allowed studded tyres IIRC.

Never really got to the bottom of studded tyre law in UK. In Germany and northern mainland europe where they are used to having winter tyres, they specifically forbid studded. UK are inly just waking up to winter tyres so maybe they haven't come across it yet?

As I read the law on Studded Tyres it's the same as for fitting Chains, if the road is completely covered in Snow, it's legal, should there be patches of Tarmac and the Studs or Chains can come in to contact with it, then it would be illegal. So for us we would need three sets of tyres, Summer, Winter and Snow, the Snow, probably never wearing them out over here.
