These two are among the major factors that help you steer through the winter. If need be, go ahead and get the wheels changed. The point here is to get maximum friction from the road.
In addition to the above, check your headlights as you will need them even during the daytime due to fog. Check the dipper too. Make sure the headlights are functioning at all levels.
