I realise it’s geographical and my previous comments about me not thinking they are worth it have been based on where I live. Unfortunately some have taken it upon themselves to get offended by my views and opinions, hence my sarcastic post.
IF I lived in Scotland then I’d probably fit them.
That logic is a bit like “I’m glad I had no house insurance because nobody broke into my house last year”

How are all your winter wheels/tyres holding up in this (yet another) mild winter we are having? I think I’ve had one slightly frosty morning so far, and it’s spring in 6/7 weeks time. My temp gauge for 99% of the winter so far has averaged 8/9 degrees.
As long as you all feel that the effort was worth it then that’s all that matters right
Meteorologically speaking winter started on December 1st and thus far its been balmy. Absolutely no need down my way for winter wheels whatsoever, same as every winter.
Or the previous 30 years that I’ve been driving, doh!!

Difference is you don’t have to change them twice a year to compensate for what weather you MIGHT get. Lol.I wish I hadn’t bought those smoke detectors . Lol ..

Me too, but I just drove according to the conditions, zero accidents.Well I don’t know where you live but I can recall some winters with a foot of snow in the roads in southern England in the past decade or so

Firstly I can’t predict the weather (who can?) and secondly I’ve never once said I was against it, I just don’t think it’s worth the effort that’s all. No need to get all offended.It’s all about being prepared . You clearly can predict the weather . I can not . It’s an hour to change . I really don’t see why you are so against .

Oh? On the odd occasion that we’ve had any decent snow I’ve often driven up and down steep hills. Drive according to the conditions, nothing scientific.You can drive as carefully as you want but if you have to drive up a steep snow covered hill covered in snow you won’t get to the top. I’ve driven in the alps when it’s been so slippy that wheels spin even with snow chains on.

No mate, I’m living proof that in most parts of this country where at worst we might get a few inches of snow you don’t necessarily NEED winter tyres.In that case you’re the living proof that winter tyres and snow chains are not needed and a waste of money. I wonder why the police don’t allow cars without winter tyres or snow chains to drive up alpine passes when it’s snowing?

As I have said previously the primary reason why I fit them is they are mandatory where I travel in Europe . However even if I didn’t travel to regions that require them in the winter I would still fit in the uk .
The tyres are a zero cost , the life of my summers is extended . Cost to change , or purchase of winter wheels minimal relative to cost of vehicle .
I think you are going out of your way having revived this to wind us all up . I’m not sure why .
My comment about us having yet another mild winter was just tongue in cheek. I expected one or two amusing responses, but as it turns out it seems that my decision not use use winter tyres really seems to offend those who do.
Not to self....do not express your opinions on this forum and definately don’t try and have a laugh.

Don’t worry about me cupcake, I just drive according to the conditions. Luckily for me I live in the U.K., where generally the winters are mild and wet, with maybe the odd flurry here and there.
You say that my decision not to use winter wheels/tyres doesn’t wind you up, but here you are replying AGAIN.
