On my daily (a 2011 Saab 95 which I had to buy just before they went bust!) I needed new winter tyres for this year and Summer Tyres were near the end. I decided to try Michelin Cross Climate to save the hassle of having to change and store a set of wheels. So far they seem OK. But no winter yet, but they do have the Winter tyre marking.
The main function of Winter tyres, in my opinion (in most of the country) is an ability to make you stop. That is much more important that going! Secondary requirement is to make it possible to steer and go, but you can only go as fast and as far as the other traffic allows, a few numpties get stuck and everyone is stuffed.
