I think you're reading it wrong, the yellow ones are the daytime temps I presume.

Get a move on spring.
I'm the same with the Sottozeros on the 330e, especially as they're only 225 width on rear. In our previous mild winters they've been awful, though this year seems like it's been colder, so they've felt a little less

Perfectly happy with the Pilot Alpins on the 335d though, as they don't get in the way of a spirited drive.

I mainly want them off so they'll last through next winter too.

Ha, maxed out the wear in December - 2mm on the rear tread of the bridgestone run flats and I put the winters on....ohh how nice is that to drive now, more rubber, softer rubber & not RFT.. bliss.

Will be keeping them on as long as I can before buying some new summers...

Correct, still it's not going to get above -1°C for 3 whole days!

Actual snow in Norwich, first time in many years!

Finally my winter tyres are justified!

Pah, who needs winter tyres or x-drive. Just back from work, didn't get stuck once. Close to getting stuck a couple of times, and i was pretty lucky i didn't have to stop on any inclines. I hope it's not worse tomorrow.

See you’ve got your snowplough fitted. Just in case it gets too deep?
