  • Winter tyres - Citroën deals??

    Having seen that all the manufacturers are doing deals on winter wheels this year are Citroën offering any for the 17" bellones?

    I've just fitted a set of 16" steel wheels with Nokian winter tyres and tucked my Bellones and Bridgestones up in the boiler room for winter. Received wisdom from the continent is to drop a wheel size and up the tyre profile for winter so that you finish up with a more flexible sidewall that allows the tyre to conform better to rough or icy surfaces. I can certainly tell the difference in the stability on the dodgy Peak District roads

    I got them from Mytyres but beware delivery took a month. Also had to get a set of wheelbolts from John Nicol and a set of trims off ebay for that 'racy' finish :rolleyes:

    If you go the two sets of wheels route your Bellones might not corrode if you keep them away from road salt!

      cheers owl git, doesnt seem like bad value £400-500 for a set inc rims. I'll have to have think about it, the snow seems to be staying up north for now
