I've fitted winter tyres to my car for the last few years, and am totally convinced by their effectiveness. My local garage stores them and I pay them to swap over the tyres at the end of Autumn and again in mid-spring.
We've recently got a "litte runabout" as a second car, and frankly I would not want to pay to get the tyres changed on it twice a year. The tyres it came with are quite worn out anyway, and of the 'Ditchfinder' brand so were never much good. So I'm considering getting some all-season tyres for it: there seems no point having two cars if you can't get one of them off the street some days (we live on a steep hill) and all seasons sound ideal for the UKs rather unpredictable (but mainly wet, and very rarely extremely snowy, even here in t'North) weather. Do any of you have any experience of all-weather tyres that you can contrast with 'normal'/summer tyres, or a full winter tyre as per the 'big' car. I'm looking at getting a set of Nokian AllWeathers.
Cheers.
