All said I covered several hours worth of driving on a dry road at high freeway speeds (exercising caution at all times!) and I had every confidence in the car's ability to do rapid lane changes and/or emergency stops.

Hopefully this helps someone in their decision to shell out $2k for winter tyres

Disclaimer: I'm certainly not trying to suggest that winter tyres are a scam or an unnecessary expense - just writing about my experiences so far, because the "should I be using winter tyres" question bounces around in my mind a lot! Thankfully I've blessed(?) with super cold weather today to test out the p-zeros!

Ultimately, you are entitled to do what you want, like drinking and driving, but don't expect innocent victims of unnecessary accidents to be understanding. First hand experience. It sucks.
