I had some winter tyres on the front of my old Passat, think they were Vredesteins or something like that, obviously a lot softer compound so they still work in colder temperatures with a deeper, chunkier tread pattern, wouldn't want those them all year round on something like a Subaru, I think they'd struggle during hot weather, also found they were much noisier. I think winter tyres are a great idea, especially if you know you're going to have snow, but you really need 2 sets of wheels so it's nice and easy to swap back to a normal tyre during the summer.
