    Winter Tyres

    Anybody feeling the urge for these this year?

    The long range predictions says snow... I guess north of the boarder it's more likely, but most of us got a dusting, and the icey conditions for the following weeks made getting about quite exciting.

    Winter tyres pretty well solve this problem, and typically get put on from November to March.

    If anybody would like a set, I'll be glad to get some options and prices

    Might even be able to work out some tasty wheels and tyre deals

    Cheers

    Ben

    Could be interested in tyres for the 205. Don't know sizes at the moment though. Expecting lots of snow on the flatlands here now!

    Bex will be ok with her hoofing great BF Goodridge offroad tyres though...

    Can you get anything suitable for UK 300ZX wheels? If not, I'll probably just get Rainsports or something for them.

    I'll grab some prices in the morning :-)

    Yes... you can manage without if you're lucky, but if you can run to them, winter tyres make driving safer and easier for sure.

    Cheap as chips there!!!

    Winter tyres are definitely worth it people. When we lived in the Alps, I drove to the garage (306 DTurbo) on Proxes at less that 15mph all the way, sliding everywhere. Had some dunlop winters fitted (can't remember the model) and drove home again almost like it was dry tarmac!!!

    meeeee

    I'd like them for mx5 fitment I dont have the wheels though yet so cant guarantee the size of tyre I need.

    What the cheapest mk1 mx5 fitement wheel + tyre package you can do ... looking for standardish sized wheels so 190x15" size I guess

    I'll probably hold out till I can get hold of a second hand cheapo set of wheels for £80 .. but you never know

    I have some subzeros I can do in White or Gunmetal with polished lip for £50+VAT per wheel...

    Yokohama winter tyres to match are £45+VAT each, fitting to those wheels. Can probably find cheaper or more expensive winter tyres

    oooooh, that sounds nice to me thats right in my ball park, with wheels that cheap I would go for more expensive rubber.

    What size are the wheels and the tyres on them then ?
