Winter tyres are stunning
I have followed your column for many years and often follow advice given. I work in the deep country of North Yorkshire at ancient heritage sites often up small lanes and tracks. After last winter i decided to invest in 4 Michelin Alpins for my modest Renault dCi Modus.
All i can say is thank you, the result is stunning!
Country lanes, snow drifts 4 inches of snow and a 1 in 3 climb at Bulmer bank all taken in its stride.
That is not to say that you are unstoppable but with common sense and awareness I havnt had so much fun for along while, so if anyone is considering winter tyres, especially if they need them to get to and from work across country as I do, don't hesitate.

Everyone who wondered why I had been recommending winter tyres since last winter will be realising why this weekend. My FIAT is on Alpins, but I saw no sensible reason to take it out in todays corrosive slush.

Sensible, practical little car with good features like 'Triptic' rear seat and some diesel engines under 121g/km. Plenty of character too.
