Winter? What's that? All we ever seem to get in eastern England is an extended autumn.

Nokians on 16 inch wheels, so you can have a higher profile. Saves the salt ruining the alloys, better over the pot holes that appear every winter, I am putting wear on a cheaper set of tyres, often drive late nights/ early mornings when icy, ride is less hard!

Good quality tyres too.

I know you were badly caught out by the weather that time Chris, but it's a v rare occurence ! Anyway, I don't want to derail the topic, if owners want to buy winter wheels/tyres good for them.

Slightly off topic now - have you got your new car yet ?
