Didn't matter they were BETTER than the summers (Bridgetsone RFTs and GoodYear EF Asyms). They didn't really start to show signs of poor performance until the temp got up near double figures.

I now run Pirelli Ice & Snow winters on the QQ and Snow Control Seris 3 on the A500 (traded on Sat just gone) - odd size tyreson both cars, these were the best options available. Both these sets of winters are great in the snow and slush and proper wet, cold roads but not as good as summers in the damp, dry [cold] or greasy conditions.

Plus, they don't really come into their own unless the temp is close to zero or below.

To that end, the QQ is still running summers (Premium Contact 3s).

I'm a fan of winters, but some tyres are better suited to UK winters than others, eg Dunlops for me as they cover more conditions and a wider range of temps.
