Result: Would you buy again? Definitely
Comment:
I did a lot of resaearch into winter tyres, & eventually decided to buy a set of tyres (note tyres & wheels). I took the car skiing last year, and assumed a 4WD with good tread summer tyres would be OK. I struggled on hills, and fresh snow on the road was tricky. switched to winter tyres in November, and chose the same noise/wet rating as my summer tyres. no problems with local winter snow & ice - the real test will be skiing. No difference on French motorways - noise/speed/handling the same, but in the Ski resort it was like a different car. A must just for the safety factor. Back in the UK tyres felt a bit soft when temperatures reached 12c +, so swtiched back to summer tyres end of March (via local tyre fitter). Not sure you could keep these on all year round (especially with current summer temperatures !).
