I'm in North Lincolnshire and 3" of snow and low temperatures stopped me reversing off my almost flat shingle driveway in my e46. If you want the capability to travel safely during wintry conditions then Winter tyres are worth it.
They are advised for temperatures below 7c as the harder compound of Summer tyres is less effective and wears faster so no snow doesn't necessarily rule out using them.
I'm going easy on mine though as since fitting them 4 weeks ago it's been temps in double figures for the most part lol.
I also reset the trip meter to keep tabs on how many miles the winters have done as these are my first set so I am keeping an eye on how they wear.
