winter tyres do also outperform pure summer tyres at temperatures below plus 10°C in terms of roadholding and breaking performance - so it dont need to have snow on the streets to use them
While i do agree with this personally i see it as a waste of money. I only do 6000 miles a year and most of them are to and from Italy so 2 sets of tyres is a bit of overkill. Maybe it would help those that seem to struggle at the slightest look of damp weather
