Gripping yearn

I come from Cyprus and I have found your site to be extremely helpful and a serious source of information re cars. I am interested in a Peugeot 3008 and I have a question regarding "grip control". Can it work efficiently enough with ordinary tyres, as driving on snow or mud is not everyday driving especially in countries like Cyprus.

The grip control package on the 3008 comes with deeper profile Michelin M+S tyres. But I see what you mean. I guess ‘grip control’ will also be reasonably effective on the harder, summer compound tyres needed for the higher ambient temperatures of Cyprus.
