I've got the exact same ones, so yes, awesome tyre... but don't fit them now, you want winters atm :)

I know, trying to weigh up options... thinking new tyres have gotta be better than low treaded tyres...

Had to drive down a really frosty steep windy road this morning and has got me panicking...

As soon as it's frosty / icy / snowy or just below 4/5*C the winter boots feel SO MUCH better than the summers do. 
My AS2's had 6mm when I took them off, at those temperatures it really is night and day - the winters make you feel like you driving in the dry.  Can't recommend them highly enough.

I bought mine in the summer for £100 each... they are £150 each now :(

Might not be a bad time to buy some summer tyres for next year though.

I've ordered some Goodyears today at my local tyre place... £130 per tyre :scared:  They'd better be good!

Yikes.

Yes they are good, and that's a good price esp. this time of year.
To echo what I said above, they are very good 5*C or less... when you start approaching 10*C I'd say the F1 AS2's are better, just so you are aware of that.
