True winter tyres

As title........... does anybody use them? I have just bought some from mytyres to fit the standard highline 15" alloys. This way i can refurb and re-tyre my 18" rs4's over the winter.

They look like bloody tractor tyres, but after last winter i thought it would be a good idea ?
