Had a courtesy car today which was on big alloys and low profile tyres so was able to do back to back testing on a similar car to see what difference the winter tyres made.
Simple answer is a huge difference. The low profile tyres although only 500 mile old so loads of tread on them were spinning up everywhere. TC light was permenatly ON when traveling in a straight line at 5 mph.
Coming home from the stealers with my car on winter tyres and I had no problems at all finding traction even when being purposely a bit heavy footed. The braking distansce were castly reduced as well.
Definitelty worth an investment if you need to drive a rear wheel drive car through winter.
