The eternal question.. answered!
It’s been a while since we had a winter vs. all-season vs. summer tire endless thread- so I thought why the heck not?
Quite an interesting test actually.. I haven’t seen one with such a detailed temperature breakdown. Thought I should share it here. https://youtu.be/bKtnczk8Mxk

Thanks for this.
I have CrossClimates and I was just thinking over the last few days, next time I'll go for winters all year round. After seeing this, I think I'll stick to my CrossClimates

I've still not capitulated and swapped from the summer to winter rims, part of that is I can't be bothered!
I'm not as lucky as Haldex and can't get down the Alps nearly as often. booo

I don't have winter wheels for my V60. I did have for my V40, they are still in the shed, unsold. Not many are interested here on the South Coast

So making cars 'feel' safer can make individuals drive less safely. Hence the old suggestion that the best contribution to road safety would be a sharp spike mounted on the steering wheel and pointing at the driver... it would concentrate the mind... It's not just about misjudging the grip from winter tyres - its about your appetite for risk. But in the interests of open disclosure - I fitted my winter tyres last weekend
