I swear by winter tyres - we've had them for several years now on varying vehicles.

Current smoke is an A5 Sportback quattro, and the usual summer tyres are 255/35/19s and then I step them down to the same rolling radius winter tyres 225/50/18s (I think as they're currently in storage until the time comes).

I honestly can't believe what I have driven through with these on, cruising past stuck/stranded Range Rover Vogues, Range Rover Sports, etc, all clad in lawn-roller width summer tyres!

Anyway - if you can afford them, get some. In Germany they are a legal reguirement
