Hello Simon

Snow tyres have studs - or places where studs can be fitted. They're not really suitable for use here in winter because they must be removed as soon as the snow thaws - otherwise they'll damage the road.Winter tyres, which offer better grip in sub-zero temeratures, are a good idea. We've written something in-depth on them that may interest you.

Motor Sensei say thoughts of tyre choice are the mark of true seeker of wisdom.
