I'd get some proper winter tyres if I were you. Up here in Sweden 'all seasons' tires are looked down at as you get shit tyres year round. The rubber is too soft for summers and too hard for winters.

I have a set of 18” Goodyear winter tyres - I need to find the exact spec, but I think they’re 225 / 40 / 18.
They had half a winter of use in 2012 and have otherwise been stored in a shed.
Available to you or anyone for a reasonable forum donation and who can collect from Pangbourne (near Reading). I’m guessing that’s not easily doable from Scotland, though!

Yeah it will be quite an initial outlay to get another set of wheels + tyres but might be the best route - I have run flat tyres so cross climate options are limited there too.
We've dome some ropey drives home from the highlands in snow last year and only just made it back - so many others had come off the roads. We're on the edge of Loch Lomond national park and commute into Glasgow - the roads are not what I'd call major until we get close to Milngavie/Bearsden so I do expect snow/ice to be a problem.
I'll head to ebay and see what wheels are around for my e90. Cheers
