Pukka let me know how them tyres go am considering the same. My boots weighed down with my survival kit. Planks of wood incase i get stuck, grit, shovel, broom, WD40 cos my lock keeps sticking, kit-kats (cant wait to break dowm Very Happy), spare boots, blankett, clothes, water, deicer, screen wash, jump leads Ermmm thats it. COMMON SENSE. Oh and my car wears its own little coat over night so i dont have to stand and freeze de icing it on a morning.

pre-icer works good to save you having to scrape the windows in the morning.

so far so good with the tyres Sab, they dont look great, but its winter, so i guess can put up with ugly boots, lol.
I just got the front two and left the normal tyres on the back. the rubber is a lot softer, handeling is slightly different, feel like I cant chuck it about as much as on my other tyres, but then to be fair, in winter its probably best not to throw your car round corners. they definatly feel alot more "grippy" on the straight, going down hill on patchy snow/ice was like being on normal roads, and the breaking is a lot sharper. so far looks like they are worth the money, but will update when it next snows as so far ive only got to test it out on patches of snow.

Go and ask your tire store for "Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice+", "Continental ContiViking-Contact 5" OR "Nokian Hakkapeliitta R"
All three are made for Scandinavian winter and will definitely enhance your grip on any kind of snow. Well not too much on bare ice but if you are not allowed to use spikes then these are your best shot. Also I would suggest to use same tires in every corner of the car but it might get a bit pricey for your needs. Actually if you have a rear wheel drive or 4WD then same tires to every corner. For FWD you might go with just front winter tires.
And Sab, generally it doesn't matter what car your driving, these tires will help you even if you were driving an old mini. Around here the only vehicles that don't change winter tires are heavy trucks and busses. I promise you that if you manage to get a pair of these tires you don't have to worry about snow any more. At least what comes to driving, it will still get to your supes and make them wet and uncomfortable when you wade through a snow bank Smile
NOTE if you get a hold any of the tires above you should remember that your car will actually stop when braking but the next car wont!

What ez said. Studded tires are always better than friction tires, let alone summer tires, for the winter conditions in Northern Europe. They make a big difference in handling.

I love snow but what slowly starts boiling my blood is everincreasing amount of it. They've promised yet another 20cm snow today, like we didn't have enough of it already. Confused
