I have bought a set of wheels and Nokian winter tyres for the Jag. I've already noticed a huge improvement in grip and stability now the weather has dropped below 7c.


It's a bit early to discount any snow this year. Last year it was snowy up till late February/March up here.

I guess it all depends how much driving you do and whether you really have to once the snow hits the ground but as mentioned, it's not just about snow. Below 7c the efficiency of most summer tyres is greatly reduced so winter tyres are better.

But as with anything you need to take a look at your own situation. I live in a village and drive all over the UK for my job. I also live in the Midlands which IMO is usually one of the most southerly areas to get snow. If I lived in a town in the south east I wouldn't bother with winter tyres.
