Hmm.....£576 for 4 steelies and 4 Vredestein Snowtrak 3. That sounds not too bad, then I guess you've got to add in another wheel and tyre as a spare.

I looked at that package too, does anyone know what price they were during the summer when winter wheels were not in so high a demand? Interesting to know how much high demand effects the price.
Not sure how representative it is of other tyres, but I paid £89 for Continental TS830s a couple of months back. They're £129 now.
They're starting to take the urine now because they know people really need snow tyres at this time of year. I was going to buy a couple for the front but I ended up buying Uniroyal Rainsport 2's instead and I have to admit, I'm well chuffed. I drove home last night about 1am through fresh snow, up and down some freaky hills, through drifts and on ice and thankfully made it. I live up the Angus glens in Scotland. Brrrrr.
I paid £483 delivered for 4 steelies and 4 Dunlop Wintersport 3D a few month back in 205/55/16 so it seems like the prices have gone up a fair amount.
Not read through the whole thread so dont know if this is a repost but take a look at this-

i'm just coming to the end of a week off and wish i'd got this done i.e. bought a steel wheel/tyre package and arranged delivery for my week off. i might just leave it this winter and buy in spring when prices will have dropped again.
Used a small local independent near work, got them cheaper than I could online and got them fitted the next day. Stayed away from the big names as they either didnt have them in stock or wanted silly money. They deal with alot of heavy plant and farming vehicles and have sold alot more than last year.
Can't think why

Lovely pics!
Glad I put the Vred Snowtrac 3's on the Mondy!
First experience of the Snowtracs & they haven't let me down.
Have Wintrac Extremes on the Leon & they're equally as good.

I might try and get some 2nd hand 16 inch alloys or steelies then and see if I can source some winter tyres from my usual tyre guy.
I loved how you must have walked around not to distort the snow in the foreground
That's bizarre - I hadn't noticed that!!
Was slicing the centimetre or snow up on the way to work this morning 
Better than nothing I suppose.

i'm not
4 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's got delivered last week......but i've not had chance to get them fitted onto my original alloys yet
Winters ON !!!
.....and WOW
.......what a difference they make! very impressed! 
Driving with winters on and people think you're idiots.
Had a flash this morning after a straight line overtake on a long stretch.
I don't think Jo public realises how of an improvement they are.
Still no room for complacency and drive with care.
