No a winter snowflake marked tyre will "win" (whatever that means!) on a stopping or steering contest all otehr things being equal. Narrower smaller diameter tyre are usually preferred for serious winter driving but here in UK its the compund teh tyre is made of that makes the greatest difference0 -
Well after reading this page I did some research and thought it's about time i got some winter tyres, so I did my researches went to a few on-line site cos I want them fitted as well and guess what, my vw dealer in Huddersfield was one of the cheapest beating etyres and blackcircles. So tomorrow I will get four new Dunlop Winter Response for £300 for my blue-motion polo0
