A legal requirement in many European Countries here in the UK we have not be aware of the advantages and safety implications regarding swapping to winter tyres.
Winter tyres are NOT SNOW TYRES they can be used all winter in wet and dry conditions including low temperature where the benefit is greatest.
One of the most common reasons we hear as to why winter tyres aren't needed in the UK is because we don't get enough snow. Winter tyres are designed to be more effective than regular tyres in any temperature under 7c (44f) on any type of road. Cold weather tyres are designed with a larger percentage of natural rubber and silica in the compound which doesn't harden up as much as synthetic rubber in cold conditions.
Winter tyres really work
Tests of a winter tyre against a high performance summer tyre in icy conditions. From just 10mph the winter tyre stopped in 6.4 metres, while the summer tyre needed more than twice the distance to stop at over 14 metres. Imagine the difference from 30 metres
Winter Tyres are specifically designed and manufactured to operate at lower temperatures than normal road tyres and can give 40 percent better grip than normal tyres in low temperature, ice and snow conditions
