Did no winter tyres in the correct size come up at bargain prices since last winter?

I have always bought my winter/all season tyres during the summer, pants stay up that way.

Narrower is usually better in snow.

So i keep hearing, however the 265 section winter tyres on my pick gripped so well that 4WD wasn't needed at all last winter, and was only used to exercise the system.

I suspect that view comes frombefore correct winter tread compunds became available here, with the correct compound the corrects size tyres for the car can be just as good.

Remember a long time ago it was quite common to fit Town and Country tyres to your Austin Cambridge or whatever you owned rear wheels for the winter, same size but deep zig zag pattern.
