Thanks for the advice RC - I'll do some more research for the Nokians.

The question for me is whether my region will experience a similar hard winter for the next coming yearsSmiley Basically I need a tire good in slush, snow (my driveway is on a slope and I had a really scary experience this winter), yet the tires should still be ok for the Swiss autobahn to work each day in winter (80km per day)..
