In the interest of Member's Safety all of you should be transparently aware of why it is foolish to drive a vehicle in
temperatures below 7°C on any other type of tyre (and that includes "All Season" or "M&S") instead of the purposely designed specific "Winter Tyre"

Conversly, driving winter tyres in summer is equally as dangerous, fuel inefficient and a waste of rubber money

There are many professional reports on this subject not only by the tyre manufacturers themselves but also by the motoring press and motoring organisations. Here just one that clearly sets out to break a lot of myths on this subject

Stay Safe

Changed mine in April.
Just thinking about changing the vehicle, do you think a one season set of winter tyres will assist P/Ex value?
I have 2010 HSE Sd4 Auto with 25000 miles.

In my experience, they rarely affect trade in value.
Better off removing them, and putting on some 2nd hand standard tyres with 3-4mm 

Still had over a meter of snow in April here on the hills of wales ...

And2.85 meter high wall of snow put there by the council W H E N they Snowploughd the road after 5 days ..!!

Just on the Continental M+S tyres

(escaped over the mountain after 2 days put it in snow mode and the fun started .!!.)
 Wales
Were the mud is thicker, and the ruts are deeper.
(And we have the water to wash it off, and more on the way..! )
