After 7-8 years of swapping wheels/tyres 2 x per year, I got fed up of it and went to all seasons (Pirelli) when I got my new Leon ST last November. No regrets, I came through last winter no problems. Personally I would go for Cross Climates if they were available in your size but realise they...

If you have keyless then invest in TWO Faraday Bags (Amazon or eBay) for the keys (2nd for the spare). Most importantly make sure you use the bag and take with you when you go out (not left in the house). Hide the bags in a safe place out of sight and NEVER leave on the hall table.

My present Golf GTD came on Potenza S001's and they were crap, presently running Nokian WR A3's year round, but they will come off...
