its February, the UK & there s the chance of more to come....
put Wintracs on & save bother, the hassle & cash of changing over + superior performance into wet weather we have in the so called summer season.... BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.

I have winters all year round. Much better for dealing with rain etc. and the modern compounds have a long life, certainly in the UK climate

I live in cornwall.. I think it snowed for about 3 minutes back in 1985 so I've not yet fitted winter tyres. All that back ache saved  Narpy Grill, tinted windows, Smooth leather wheel (TLO Group buy), ACM fitted (thanks TLO), Rear door loom and Row 2 & 3 audio switch upgrade, RRS 20" wheel change, 285 Cooper LTZ's Sat Nav Mod (until I get a Faultmate upgrade), Front & Rear lamp guards. 4x4 screen now switched on - Woody32, Follow me home reverse lights - woody32, Auto release EPB - Woody32. Off Road Navigation - Woody32. Remap + EGR's switched off. Full chassis clean and Waxoyl.

Some words of wisdom (IMO) from Andreas Topp, Continental's head of winter tyre development:
http://www.continental-tires.com/www/tires...er_en.html
My winter tyres (for the Saab) remain in the shed, it's just not been cold enough yet, but we do sometimes get a late cold spell, so not ruling out having to fit them.
