Not worth having them any more, and We are not going anywhere anyway, apart from a trip to collect our weeks shopping once a week at the supermarket. Lovely weather.

Well, studded are not legal in the UK due to our mild weather. You will get people putting them on either on a forecast of snow/ice or at a certain time of the year. For instance I put on my winter tyres middle of December and take them off end of February. However. it is allowable to use them in Scandinavia and some parts of the European continent simply because they have known periods of snow and ice covering. In fact mandatory. A person from them parts may chip in with more precise info.
