Winter Tyres - are they worth having

[Squid]

What if you put two winter tyres on the front but didn't bother with the rear tyres, would it be any advantage?

On a Reliant?

Do you guys that use the winters have them on another set of rims so it’s just a matter of jacking up and swapping over?

I had a spare set of rims for the Lotus that had gravel rash on them and where silver, standard rims where black so had a second hand set of tyres fitted and just swapped the rims over, before the E30 was garaged I also had a spare set of wheels as the profile was narrower and did the swap as its much easier then taking the lot to a tyre shop to swap the tyres over.

If you have the room to store the wheels a second set is the better option, in Europe in certain countries it is the law to roll on winter tyres within specific dates.

Yep, spare set on rims, although its quite popular to swap over at a local garage

My brother how lives in the black mountain area of Wales has winter tyeson steel rims and summer tyes on Alloys rims and Normal tyes for rest off year, he went for the steel rims as they are stronger take the bumps better and yaks him less than an hour to swop I’ve to his alloy rims ( he dos drive a 4x4 Dacia duster has no problem getting to work in the winter as a lot off he driving is on single track roads) just have always wonder why he put the ally’s on as it does not make the duster like any better
