The other consideration in the UK is that it's all very well heading out in your X3 with winter tyres and blasting through the snow and ice, but when all of the summer tyre brigade get stuck in a blizzard on the way home and the council haven't gritted the roads because they didn't buy enough grit because of cut backs, you end up in the same traffic deadlock chaos as everyone else

Exactly right and exactly my situation. If winter tyres get me the 30m incline out to the main road and then back then worth it to me, so pleased you think they would make a significant difference. Can see a new winter thread starting on "what works for you?" later in the year.

Go for it. Will look forward to seeing feedback. You will also avoid the potential embarrassment of owning a big 4 wheel drive SUV/SAV and still getting stuck because of summer tyre tread (like your neighbour's Range Rover)
Look out for my "stuck in the bloody snow, wish i had bought winter tyres" thread in a few months
