Driving to Switzerland again in February, by which time there will be snow, and lots of it. Our place is half hour up a mountain road.
I'm going to get some winter tyres and some chains.
Does anyone have any experience doing this?
Should I be buying some cheap steels and mount winter tyres on those, then I can swap them after my 600 mile drive through dry motorway?
Or should I mount the winter tyres on my current alloys for the whole trip? Are they noisy/uncomfortable on the motorway?
And I guess the last question would be, winter tyres just on the front or is there a significant benefit on doing the rear too?
Cheers.
