As far as I can tell, yes. I run an old Saab, not 4WD or anything
fancy. Last winter I got a set of winter tyres and got them put on a
spare set of cheapo S/H alloys. I was able to get around very well up
here on Dartmoor when pretty well everything else bar the 4X4's were
stuck.
Just my opinion mind you, but I do know it's compulsory in many
European countries where they regularly get harsh winter conditions to
have a set of winter-specific tyres.
