The reality is that is you get caught doing an emergency stop on the Motorway in the dry, you will probably die if you've got Winter tyres one because they're rubbish
(I exaggerate a teeny bit but you get my point)Stick to summers unless you genuinely cannot drive your car when it snows and you absolutely must (in which case, why don't you have a 4x4?). It's simple logic that winter tyres are worse than summer tyres all the time, unless it's snowed. And it never snows any more. To each their own, of course, but living on an island in the gulf stream means we just don't get cold enough for long enough to warrant them IMO
Watch me eat my words now as we descend into an ice age
