Btw, I don't follow tests, I think they are rigged and vehicle specific.

But as other follow them so rigidly...

Ok heres a test.
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/60808/continental-contipremiumcontact-2

The link is for the summer tyre in the winter tyre test. Look at the wet braking score. Then look at the wet braking score of the best winter tyre.

In fact take snow out of the equation the SUMMER TYRE TROUNCES ALL OF THEM.


as said, if its snows enough in the uk to warrant winter tyres, i might consider them.

Until then....

conti summer tyre ..
 
 

Wet braking

94.7%

and this is the latest model for the size you use unless you decide to go different size..

( I definitely recommend 16 and narrower size for winter which you have to use ultragrip 8 ie not performance  )

Actually that's 0.6% difference.

Just need to fit an air compressor and tank too, unless they do an electric version?

for big vehicles its very practical and I cant imagine how expensive will be a snow tyre for them

Seems a very clever idea.

as I haven't seen a winter tyre with a braking rating higher than a C, most are D/E. sc3 are B in the wet on mine iirc. A on standard sizes.

You are missing the point - or "doing a Cem" . You are comparing warm, wet braking. Not cold braking. So not a valid comparison.

Yeah, annoying isn't it.

It's their own figures though.

Anyway, I think the poll speaks for itself on the legislation issue at least.
