Basically it comes down to a road tyre or a AT tyre , Continental Xcontact AT was a good compromise, but size availability is not as wide as it was , All the road type tyres are much of a muchness , its a balance between cost and longevity . Ive put these on in the past and they seem to perform quite well , and consider good value for money . In the end its your decision . HTSH

Well after much debate I have decided to go with these, £10 pound cheaper to pick them up yourself, trade from a local tyre supplier

won't be worth a damn off road or mud, doubt they will function for snow as they are a road, or wet road tyre. good for soccer moms
For fast and powerful SUVs and off-road vehicles. Newly developed for high-powered SUVs and offroad vehicles, the Grabber GT is not just really good to look at. Its asymmetric tread design guarantees outstanding handling characteristics on dry and wet surfaces, and a high level of safety thanks to excellent braking performance in the wet. The harmonious tread structure on the newcomer provides high levels of driving comfort by significantly reducing external rolling noise

Doubt if there is a lot of snow in Swansea anyway. West coast, right by the sea.
I have found ATs are quite good in snow if you take it easy. Not as good as a specialist snow tyre, but British climate doesn't really justify them, unless you live right up in the Cairngorms or similar.

Run Cooper AT2 now AT3 and them are a very good in snow and ice hard packed snow on the roads, we get about 6-8' of snow where I live for the winter. I wouldn't change type or brand

Correct with that, we'll get 2-3 weeks of -40f not counting wind chill, and they work goodI know! Been just over the water in wintertime before!

We don't get much snow here, nothing last year anyway, fitted my new tyres today, peace of mind now that I have all four tyres the same tread depth and pattern unlike before with three different tyres and depths, this should now be kind to my transmission drive train, (hopefully!!!)
