It mostly does Summer trips, but is also 4WD with good ground clearance, so my logic was that it could do Winter duty also if it was ever needed. <br /> The Summer performance was fine, no issues at all even down into Spain and 40 degrees etc., and somehow the Winter performance is also really good. Cold/wet/snow-slush/mud all handled without any drama whatsoever. <br /> I've only really <i>needed </i>them a couple of times, but those occasions were long trips (4-6 hours), where I wouldn't have travelled in a RWD car with Summer tyres (and probably not in a 2.5t van on Summer tyres either).<br /> <br /> If you think you'd benefit from that type of application / situation, then I'd look at the Pilot Sport or Continental All Season options (the CrossClimates are probably a bit budget / soft-walled for an A207 IMO).<br /> The CrossClimates have some kind of voodoo compound that will pick up gravel even after 10,000 miles (the gravel is stuck to the tyre face, not caught in the tread!):<br /> <a href="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/attachments/img20241216122447-jpg.166300/" target="_blank"><img src="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/data/attachments/139/139907-e4c8faaa0d179cb55af36965b827e684.jpg?hash=Wku3FRcEhw" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG20241216122447.jpg" title="IMG20241216122447.jpg" width="400" height="534" loading="lazy" /></a></div>
