[QUOTE=Jsm;39256865]Nobody uses snow tyres in the UK, unless they live in like the highlands.
Anyone who does use snow tyres needs to cease using them right now, even with a foot of snow they [B]destroy the fucking road[/B]. Just last week they repaired the damage caused by someone with with snow tyres in 2011 when we had 1ft of snow.[/QUOTE]
Snow tyres don't destroy the road, ice does.
The water seeps in gaps between the tarmac, freezes; expands and then cracks the road.

Source: Living in the highlands for 17 years before uni, where people use snow tires and knowing the guy who managed the entire area's roads. If its cold enough to be worth using snow tyres, more damage will already have been done.

Do you guys have good snow plows over there? How long does it take to get roads clear? If I remember, the UK doesn't get that much snowfall per year.
