Most people living in Scottish highlands keep same tyres on all year round, just normal all season rubber.
Unlike the 50k + car rich south! most rural areas are pretty old cars, just the people living there know how to drive, unlike the south.
I noticed this when moving from Scotland to down south the first time.
How many people actually carry a bag of extra clothes (including boots) in he car over the winter?
