Winter tyres are more than just snow tyres. Last year I fitted a set of
Dunlop winter sports - "performance" winter tyres (good in cold weather
on many surfaces, quiet and good wear rate), rather than "studless"
(great in heavy snow and perhaps ice, but squirelly on dry pavement,
noisy and wear quickly). Got a great deal on tyres and rims(relatively
speaking) from Tire Rack in the US, even after shipping, taxes and the
like at this end. Also delivered in less than a week.

Compound used in winter tyres is much better than that in all-season
tyres, which contributes to more secure driving (as does AWD!).

I'll be fitting the winters to our cars this weekend.

The Michelin Alpin's are always highly rated, I think thats what I will
get for my wife's focus - thats what she has now.

I have summer Michelins on my Audi and they transformed the car from the
pirellis that were on it before which tramlined at the slightest chance.

I don't think I will be getting winter tyres for that this year though
as they are rather expensive and I will just use the landrover instead.

Hope the snow doesn't get too deep up there
