Ok, just in case this ends up in a duplicate discussion I just wanted to point out to everyone that if you have questions about winter tyres etc, we have a couple of threads running already.

If you have a question about where to buy winter tyres, or where to get them changed, go to this thread.

If you have a question related to the legal aspects of winter tyres, like if you really need them, if you have an accident when you don't have them will you get in trouble, etc. then go this thread.

If you want to have a light hearted discussion about whether you've put your tyres on or not, then stay here on this thread!

(soonich - I moved your post over to the correct thread)
