Disagree. How does fwd car stops any faster in the snow or ice? People bang on about oh well someone will crash into you. So I'll buy an unrelaible banger so If I crash into anything or ANYONE it doesn't matter. Circle of destruction!
Winter tyres are much much much better than summers. No ass clenching no worries, no 1mph driving and skidding into a curb. Worth it IMO and even on a shed I'd buy winter tyres quicker. Got some for someone I know. Goodyear Ultragrip 7's I think they are for £180 for 4 tyres. Brand new.
