Duncaster,
we run dedicated winter tyres between october and easter, I have run STT a couple of days into the season, but they are not that good on ice, snow I would imagine that MTR's are much better in deepsnow.

Mounted the stone guards today, fairly easy job, just took a little time, even though I was missing a few parts the job went well and looks good. I should have done this ages ago.
