Got the snow tyres on just in time! 
Had a weekend away with the wife, we drive south to go through the Cairngorms and Trossachs. we got the snow ahead of everyone else 
and yes… the roof was down! (i bought her a blanket lol)
Snows only going to get thicket and thicker. early winter. These tyres worked a treat with about an inch on the road. plenty of grip, including during emergency braking (for testing purposes)
Down here in London everything just comes to a stop in those conditions, but incase I get up to the Bonnie lands this winter what tyres are you using 
Might get a set to a spare set of wheels I have knocking about.

about £100 a corner.
i’ll have these on until the temp picks up. then i will (if ive got the cash)) just hang these on the garage wall along with the alloys until next winter. then get some summer rubber and new metal
Hats off to you i am also a 4 season driver those tyres will definitely help stay safe regards Richy TDA
Michelin pilot sport 3 £135 a corner on mine
thats a summer tyre…? you might be on the wrong thread (and tread! lol)
Put my winters on last week, replaced them last October (2023) with Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 205/50R16 at £132 a corner. Was originally going for Hankook i*cept RS3 tyres but couldn’t get them in time.
I run AllSeasons during the autumn/winter, as the Cheshire climate tends to be a bit harder to read. Seemed the best compromise to me over a ‘full’ winter, given it’s not a daily driver and I have an AWD car available anyway 
I used Goodyear Vectors on the NC and I’ve gone for Kumho Solus 4S on the ND, on a 2nd set of wheels.
I use the Vectors on my 4 wd Hyundai. I’ve always had pukka winters before , as I do a lot of driving over muddy fields and farm tracks but even in vile conditions last year they were excellent. And mean I don’t have to swap the tyres twice a year. I dare say ultimate grip is compromised in summer but it’s
a Hyundai Kona after all , so I don’t really care .
Always summer in Blackpool 
I have used Goodyear vectors awesome tyre 
I got a new set of Vectors for my daily, swapped over to them last week.
Working really well there too

Would these fit on my 2015 Roadster if I got new rims to suit? I think my current wheels are 16” (too cold to go check - it’s -4°).
Bit wintery up here in Aberdeenshire this week and don’t think the Vector all-weather will be enough.
Been too scared to take it out this week on normal tyres.
Thanks 
Those are 17" wheels, in the photo you’ve posted. So you could happily run 205 or 215 width on a 45 profile.
But if you’re going for a 2nd set of wheels for different rubber anyway, I’d go down a wheel size and width personally. I ran my last NC2 on Vectors in a 195/55/16 size for the autumn/winter time.
If you went for CrossClimate2s or Vectors, you’d be surprised at what they can deal with.
i dont know the NC wheel sizes im afraid. but i am also in Sunny Aberdeen
If it wasnt for the snow tyres, i wouldnt be able to do this…(either i would be stuck in the snow, or would have just spun out at the front would have lost traction)
Thanks for such a detailed reply! Thought that with our weather up here all-weathers wouldn’t be enough but I’ll investigate.
Why are smaller/thinner wheels better?
Thanks again
Thanks for reply, and video! Looks like you’ve been having fun in the snow on your new tyres.
I will do a bit of research and maybe get these, or the Vectors. Last time we had snow in mid November it here till March so I defo need to do something.
Thanks again.
The reasoning behind using narrower tyres in winter conditions, is they have a better chance of punching through snow and ice and finding traction.
A taller, thinner tyre puts more pressure on the surface and can compress the snow into the tread - which is how you get the sipes working for you and the tyre to ‘dig in’.
As far as AllSeasons are concerned, they’ve certainly come on a long way in recent years. I took a car on Vectors from here to the Alps one year, for example.
Similar story in off-roading, just look at the tyre width on the original Land Rovers. Not sure if they were concerned with aquaplaning though…
