Winter tyres gave a different compound to keep them supple on a cold road. The squiggles are called sipes and the grasp on to the snow for added traction. Rubber on snow isn't great, snow on snow is better

Well, In the Bleak Midwinter you will need winter tyres..
Because as Holst said....
"In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan;
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago."

Nexen roadian HP's very much a road biased tyre on mine not too bad, I had Goodyear wranglers on before which were worse than useless.
Roadians are crap offroad as you'd imagine for a road biased tyre!

I did yes, I got 40.000mls from them as well. Not a bad Tyre when let down to about 16psi (off-road).
I ran them at 2.4bar front and rear. Brilliant in the wet on road and not a mud Tyre but reasonable 50/50tyre.
I'm running Hankook dyna pro at2's, really soft side wall and not as heavy as the grab at3's.

Here in Norway we usually use 2 sets aswell. maybe up north they only use winter tires dunno, never been there
I don't need the snow marking on my summer tires, nay. It sure is an advantage (as you wont need to rush to swap to winter tires), but i've heard AT tires in general ain't sufficient enough in cold weathers/icy roads.
Heard AT tires are quite decent on Snow, atleast some of them.
I did drool abit on the KO2's, (as a primary winter tire) but i got told they really were a joke on ice.
Winter tyres are a much softer compound. Run them in the summer and they wear away fast.

Early ones had option of 7J with 235/70/16s. Don’t see many of them and they look weird by modern standards.
In 1995 17/18” wheels were humongous

It seems the less rubber on the Tyre the more you pay? How does that work??I had At2s on mine, not cheap 10 years ago £134 from MyTyres (255/55r18) now £234

You run 2 sets cos you have studs. Do you have to run them by law? Or do you need only “snow sign” to run winter months?
From what I know about tyres (not much) the snow 1s are a softer compound and have those funny little squiggles in them
We carry chains (law) for a few months of the year and require snow markings. Never had to get chains out yet
Not many tyres are great on ice, except maybe your studded ones

I run them partially by law. I use them in the winter months were winter tires are a must, but im lowkey not paying stud taxes... I have to pay extra tax/fees using the road into the "main" citys, like normal roadposts wont charge enough.... I dont usually drive in the main citys tho so i couldnt be bothered spending anymore than already.. and at theese diesel prices
And yea i gotta serve in the military in upcoming month... serve for 12months, minimum... ough, rip p38 dusting down in garage, MOT is due in june, and im heading in military in 4 weeks..
gotta postpone my new summer tire purchase...

You may find military service very rewarding. And if you get a decent bunch of blokes you will be friends for life and have the time of your life. And in 30 years time you'll look back and think of all the things you used to do and now the most exciting thing you do is go to the shops.
