Good timing now that it's starting to get colder.
I just put 4 x Goodyear Ultragrip Performance 2's straight onto my 18" Monzas. Drove for an hour at 9 degrees C in the dry and I cannot detect any change in rolling resistance or road noise compared with my Michelin PS3 summer tyres. Very pleased about that. I'll let you know how they do if we get some snow (secretly hoping for a harsh winter!).

I'm running Pirelli Soto Zeros, had them on last year, and just swapped them back over again. The week after I fitted them we had a foot of snow last winter, I had not prepared myself for how truly brilliant they are.

I swapped mine to 17" wellies too, noticed a difference when changing direction quickly (AKA cornering down a fun country lane I know) not so sure about the higher side wall! But I'll forgive them that for a whole slice of go anywhere cake!
