Good! People were nice, lots of space and cars you wont see in the Netherlands. (like the Trabant and Wartburg). Budapest was impressive. Balaton was also nice, but we got mostly bad weather. And ive seen only one V300. (340 it was)
And next to all, everything was very cheap.
Regards,

Maybe KW23?
It is indeed big difference that proper winter tyres make, just remember to pay attention what is behind you before braking as others might use summer tyres and after driving a while with winter tyres one can't remember how horrible grip was with summer tyres

Kumho Winter 7400 (just looked)
Certainly not the best tyres ever, but even less than a halve of the price of a Michelin. Wonder how long they will last however.
About braking, yes lol. Espesially in Holland, where most people keep driving their normal tyres, as there is normally only a few days of snow.
