Generally speaking i suspect many many people do. I think that if winter tyres were to be mandated between say November and May so much money could be saved by drastically reduced road salting.

You would think, but nonono. Some areas treat snow like it's something that needs to die. Salty salty roads, even in Scandinavia.

I also use winter tyres on my FWD car. Having started using them 4 odd years back I would not be without them. Makes a huge difference. That said, this time I bought some nice Fox Alloys that had a little-used set of Vredstein Quatrac 4 seasons that seem plenty grippy as well.

Would be nice to see those tests taken a step further to compare all of them with "All Season tyres"

Where do mud and snow (M+S) tyres come into the scheme of things? My wife's Peugeot 2008 comes with them, and some kind of 4-setting electrickery for the front wheel drive.
