Are they Yokahama snow tyres?

That looks suspect to me. I don't think they're real Yokohama's, that's not their logo.

Looks like they are studded. Studs aren't legal in the UK.

definitely look like studded snow tyres, will be good in the mud, but not road legal unfortunately
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

I was sure that since I was aiming only for originality ( not off road) , I was not going to spend much . How wrong I was!

that's what we all have found out, often it's cheaper to modify than to fix :D
