I’ve been using winter tyres for as long as I can remember normally swap wheels around the end of October and then back again around end of March, this year I’ve gone for all seasons (cross climates) needed new tyres and couldn’t find sensibly priced wheels for my van to get a second set. On the whole I’ve been very impressed with the cross climates through the warmer months they came into their own yesterday when we had icey conditions on a rear wheel drive empty van they coped extremely well. I’m sure full on winter tyres would be better but for the U.K. I reckon these will be ideal provided they give the mileage I expect I’ll be buying them again and it saves swapping wheels.
