Nope - they do not.

But I think they tend to think of our winters being a bit different to those of what you get in Sweden.

However......

If everyone had winter tyres this morning then maybe my 14mile trip to work would have taken a hell of a lot less than the 1 hour 30 minutes that it did take

I know what you mean - I was out today in the Discovery - behind a Defender... behind a Fiesta doing about 17 mph...

We got back up to 30 when thankfully she turned off LOL

The P1 was decidedly better at getting up snowy icy hills than a lot of BMW's I passed last April, the corners felt a bit unsure, oversteer is not a usual thing to feel but a quick blip saw things right.
It was actually a joy to travel to work earlier with no traffic so you could actually enjoy the different driving experience, not once did I feel unsafe in the P1.
I now commute in a Mondeo TDi, now that is scary! Heavy *** thing has skinny tyres but gives no indication when it's giving up, just goes lol
