Run michilin Cross climates on a polo, when road temps at high yeah prob wear a bit faster but that's rare in Scotland. Wgat is common in Scotland is 5 to 8c drizzle and standing water, turning to slush and mild snow in winter and in those conditions those tyres are amazing. Last year was using it for all sorts in the worst of it, even when I deliberately tried, it would not get stuck (was a volvo xc with haldex drive on maxxis wintery tyres that got stuck, polo did not, speed bump on a slushy hill.
No real difference in economy either. Handling is affected, but its not a handling car so who cares.
If you live north of Perth then yeah maybe full winter and summer tyres

Looking to get some new tyres and it seems prudent to consider winter ready or cross climate type tyres. Does anyone have any experience on using an all-rounder that has a winter certification such as cross climate from Michelin? Or has anyone done a full seasonal replace for spring/summer and autumn/winter.
I feel like the latter is a huge ball ache but might be more practical long term.
Disclaimer - I live in Scotland so snow is highly likely at some point and my commute is circa 35 miles a day through some rowdy countryside.
