I already posted the average UK winter maximum AND MINIMUM temperature earlier in this thread, but winter tyre proponents seem to ignore it and keep rehashing the idea that the average winter minimum is subzero. It is not, there is not one single month when the average UK winter minimum temperature is below freezing.
Everyone knows winter tyres work better on snow on ice (although I don't see anyone commenting on it still taking a whopping 12 metres to stop on ice from a puny 12mph even on winters - do you really think taking 3 car lengths to stop from jogging pace is a good result?). The point is, most winters it does not snow. And the test results which are quoted above show performance summer tyres perform better in the dry, better in the wet and better for aquaplaning is what are true typical UK winter conditions, which are a few degrees above freezing.
