Me too, normally. It's just that with the warmish weather (mostly), the various issues I've had limiting use of the S8 (and my regular mobile tyre man going bankrupt!) and other factors keeping us busy but not driving much I haven't bothered this winter. So far....

PS My S8 winter tyres are currently Pirelli Sottozero, I think I saw a post saying you had those on one of your stable, just not sure which. (Volvo now has Michelin Cross-Climate all year)
