Yes obviously worth getting winter tyres - they easily outperform summer tyres when its cold.
Having now finally had the opportunity to test my 'cheap' winter tyres in the snow and ice i must say i am impressed. I bought 4 35/35/19 91 V 'Imperial Snowdragon' tyres bradn new from a seller in Belgium.

I had previously always got an entire set of wheels with larger sidewall tyres and used Conti Winter T850 which are generally regarded as the best winter tyre.
Although the snow dragons are not as good as the Conti, for £54 per tyre they are an absolute bargain and make driving in wintry conditions much safer and more fun. 4 wheels spinning when doing fast starts is tremendous fun.
