Fitted to a Rover 420sldi I used to drive 23 miles each way to work in the North East of Scotland. I never once couldn't get to work no matter how deep the snow.
I now have an Astra 1.6 petrol down in Yorkshire and fitted a set just before the winter of 2009. We live on a 1 in 5 cobbled hill and the car clawed it's way to the top thoughout the deep snow. Amazing grip in snow and slush but they also work realy well when it's just plain cold. I keep them on the back during the summer and the wear is negligible. We fitted Maxxis winter tires to my wifes van and they are also really good but not quite on a par with the Snowtrac. (Couldn't get the Snowtrac in the right size for the van). I would make winter tires mandatory for snow covered roads - they are a life saver!
