You looking for cheap as possible, or a brand you've heard of? I know you say you're not picky... but some people have limits

Ive just had quotes for Minerva (?) @ £98 + vat fitted for 225s and in stock. Brand wise, as long as its a snow tyre, and not 'summer' Falkens like I have atm, Im sure it will be OK. BMs are notoriously bad in the snow, so I want to try and keep it as mobile as poss!
Contemplating putting the 225s all round as the 255s werent in stock. 245/40 are within 3% ratio tho, so now trying to find a set of them...
I have had a bit of a struggle to find much tbh...
109.43+VAT for Yoko in 225/40/18
Rear sizes are something of a challenge
Its the morning tire enquiry time ????
Of course if you cant actually get the Hankooks, I dont really care what winter tyres are on the wheels ... as long as they are a named brand winter tire ! ... and before winter
Here's a vote for winter tyres. I fitted some M&S tyres to the 306 and it transformed it in the snow.
That said, I'd echo the comments earlier about fitting 4. I picked mine up with rims from ebay, and found them a pair at a time. The first pair went on the front, for obvious reasons, but going round corners became "entertaining" with a massive difference in the level of grip front and rear. Never had so much oversteer in a FWD car!
Evilchap - if I can find some rims, I'll definitely be interested.
Beginning to seem like a long time now ? Are you able to get these or other tyres, or am I better off going to the big chains ?
Cheers
Ben anything that will fit front: 240/35/19 and rear: 305/30/19?
or maybe a smaller set of wheels they would need to be 5x112 and light and 18+ to clear the brakes
Thanks
Still coming, Hankook have messed dates around but they're promised in the next week or so
You wont miss out, that's for sure - the tyres exist and have your name on
@Ghost - I am going to struggle badly to get those sort of sizes, and we dont have much in the way of 5x112, ie nothing. I would suggest trying locally as the big chain companies have bought up most winter tyres now.
Cheers mate ... sorry for hastling .... but its the way it works ... My misses nags me .... I nag you
the mistake I made was telling her what I spent my money on
Ha, you need to get her better trained
Ben,
Can you guys get hold of the vredestein quatrac 3's at all?
Am after a pr in 205/55/16 for the golf
We cant get any deals on them I am afraid - you'll be best of getting them local.
Also before you buy just 2 have a watch of this

I had exactly that experience in the 306. Managed to get a pair on rims, so chucked them on the front, but didn't get the second pair until a week later. Oversteer everywhere!
What can you get ben? Winter or all season
Yokohama for £83.07+VAT per tyre are in stock right now in 205/55/16!
Ok, I quit this is just stupid now, its December !
Its regulary under 7 degrees when I drive the car, and I hate paying money for something that I cant use because I havent got it.
I paid for these in September when it was going to be a 2 week wait ... in October it was going to be a 2 week wait .... in November it was going to be a 2 week wait .. Its Now december, no wheels, no tires
If you could return my £494.00 via paypal to h1udd@yahoo.co.uk
we will call it quits and I'll go find some second hand wheels and go visit Kwik Fit
Cheers bud
Hi Johnny
I have chased this every few days - trying both Yokohama and Hankook.
Yokohama aren't getting any more.
Hankook say they're arrived, they're in the docks, but seemingly unloading their 100+ containers at random so still wont give me a firm date.
It's hugely frustrating not being able to supply things like this, I am sorry for the delays and messing about
I'll get the refund done today.
