English opinions?
A lot of the English (and here I am using it not as an accidental substitute for British) are in that marginal zone from what I can make out. Winter tyres would be great for that once a year big snow fall that lasts a week at most.
I have seen, for the first time, TV ads for winter tyres which are cashing in on last winter's problems.
Northern England and higher ground often get more falls but it is still patchy from winter to winter and when it arrives. Last year we had major snow before Christmas - fairly rare in England.
The key message for me of all these posts is to drive within the limits of your equipment. Go carefully or not at all. The thing that makes me cringe is seeing Chelsea Tractor drivers careering about as if they are invincible and getting a nasty surprise when they try to stop or go round a corner.
I would be interested to hear a winter tyre view from anyone living in England south of Birmingham.
