We're buying a new car. Not actually new, produced in 2009, the Hyundai i30 with 1.6 CRDI engine and all bells whistles. Seller accepted our Citroen Berlingo as a part of the payment, so it's a double gain
About me - got the 'winter' tyres installed in my new car. There is no much of mud snow here, but those are useful once the temperature drops under 5°C, with or without drizzle or rain. Especially after the experience of my wife, daughter and the infant neighbour sliding off the road in the deep ditch 3 years ago.
Took half a day off work and went and bought a used boat. No more sitting for 6-8 hours in a kayak trying to catch a fish and then trying to get my sore backside and legs to work again when I try to stand up.
Now the bad, part, the lake are frozen over for the next 3+ months so I have to wait until the thaw to use it.

Better safe than sorry Tomo. I drove for 27yrs with all season tires in this God for saken part of the province without a problem, just drove to condition. Then my government made it a law to drive with winter tires only from October to May. Funny thing is, the vast majority of the vehicles one sees in the ditch are 4x4 trucks, the guys think they are invincible.
