The colder it gets, the greater the risk, as exemplified in the first post in this thread.

Tyres are a odd thing in the UK, people will make sure they have the best stickiest rubber for the summer over here and brag about their PS4S tyres but then when it comes to winter they flip 180 degrees and say nah don't need them, when the complete reverse is true they don't need the PS4S but do need the winters/all seasons.
Yet every time it snows or is icy we have utter chaos on the roads 2" of snow is enough to bring any UK town or city to a grinding halt, anything more an we have entire motorways shut people trapped on them for 24 hours etc...yet the myth persists that we don't need to run them.
(someone from the UK will be along in a minute to say they drive about on 6" of snow in an M car on summers with zero issues)
