Can see your point Doc.

4-5mm should get me through this winter don't you think?

Do you & Mrs Doc just use winters on the front?

I bought a set of part worn Dunlop winters last year with 6mm of tred and using them again this winter.

They are very effective compared to the Goodyear summer tyres I had on which had zero grip in the snow, I didn't get stuck once with them on and drove through some rough roads.

I'd recommend having winters on all 4 however would be ok only on the front just be careful when cornering.
