Winter tyres - should I get them fitted now?
Last year you advised me of the tyres to fit and I followed your advice and we got through the winter without trouble after having been cut off many times previously. BRILLIANT! We had only a dusting of snow! I had the tyres removed at the end of winter and am now ready to have them refitted. Please confirm that the result will be the same this year!

I put mine on last Monday, but I have no idea what sort of winter we will have.
Last year, like you, I only actually needed my Winter tyres once.
