That's perfectly fine over here where we have little snow and I agree about adjusting to suit the conditions but I think those who live further in the north will disagree. I would have agreed with you 100% but early part of last year I travelled to Austria and in Germany and Austria in the winter season, winter tyres are mandatory. You can get away with summer tyres providing you carry snow chains with you but my car won't accept snow chains so a set of winter tyres were purchased. I run a Mazda 6 diesel and even with that big heavy lump of an engine over the front wheels the car is absolute **** in the snow on normal tyres. However, stick a set of winters on and the car is transformed in the snow. I couldn't believe the grip. When you're up in the mountains and it's snowing it's nice to know you can keep moving. If we had more snow over here they would be more popular. Where I live it's flat. We may get a couple of inches of snow a year and haven't bothered putting the winter tyres on as there seems no point just going to work and back but if it gets bad then they will be on the car.

No 100% absolutely no.
Winter tyres only bring any benefit at 7 oC or below. Some are absolutely woeful in the wet as well.

I think that because they test the wet grip in the summer. So my tyre fitter says anyway. If they did the tests on a like for like basis, you may find your summer tyres wet grip when it's four or five degrees a grade E when in the summer it will be grade A. It's only a guide anyway and I used to buy only grade A wet grip. I'm running Avons at present grade A wet and they are crap in the wet compared to previously fitted Goodyear be Dunlop. They wheel spin all the time so not sure what car they got their rating on but it can't have been a torquey diesel.

Got Nokians for my wife's car this winter and couldn't agree more!

Great value since we have had plenty of days where the temperature has been below 7 to warrant the need for them.





Just hit the expire button or report it to be expired.

​love my nokians.. significantly noisier in the car though. however I have got stuck before in the snow and wouldn't want that again! so nokians it is!

When you place the order - I've just canceled an order for a book I ordered for xmas - realised its still not shipped so cancelled and received an immediate refund

​​This one doesn't bother me too much. You're right though, it's not really a deal if nobody can get it right now.

HUKD used to be about proper bargains, glitches etc. Now you get people posting stuff at RRP as a bargain which gets voted hot.

It's flooded with useless deals that are voted hot like this one http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/aldi-2-1-air-fryer-29-99-instore-online-2589985 which makes it difficult to see where the proper deals are. Thankfully there's still that odd one or two deals a week which are proper deals.
