I was lucky enough to win a set of these on this site last year and I'm glad to say they have never been used so far. It may be a different story next week acording to the weather forecast but I still have the peace of mind if kicks off. If I never use them again this year either I will be well chuffed.

Just before Xmas, after the last snow we had up here, I replaced my old M&S rated tyres, which were getting near the limits, with a set of All weather (winter rated) M&S tyres.

It has not snowed here since BUT we have just had a Yellow Weather warning this morning that we will probably get snow today concentrated more here in Co Durham with up to 4" on the high ground.

Where I live is on a hill with 3 main roads into it and you have to go up a hill whichever road you take into it.

I bought a set of "medium" sox which would fit most cars I'd hire for skiing. It's cheaper than a set of chains from the hire company for a week. Even if not an exact fit, you normally only need them on for a few kms or sometimes a few hundred metres till you reach black roads.
(They also fit my wife's car so an excellent buy for me.

These look great! We're often driving out on very snowy country roads so these could be a lifesaver!
