Over 95% of Brits say 'no' to winter tyres - are we mad?

A survey of 3,000 British drivers has revealed that less than 5 percent plan on buying winter tyres this year - even though weather reports suggest that the UK is due to be brought to a standstill again because of the snow.

In light of the last two winters, during which heavy snowfall allowed excessive use of the word CHAOS (capitals necessary) across the entire media spectrum, the survey results show a startling apathy towards winter tyres.
