What do you think of: All Weather/Winter Tyres?

[MDSS MK6]

Just ordered a set of CONTINENTAL WINTER CONTACT TS810 XL, fitting tomorrow......which should ensure absolutely no snow or ice in the manchester area for this winter

^ WINTER TYRES??....... you big wuss 

I may live in the north but I'm a southern softie all the same
In fact, I'm thinking of driving instead of flying to the alps next year, and snow tyres are compulsory. That taxi journey last year was a real eye opener, we were on the autostrada for 2hrs or so, and I never saw one car at the side of the road, whereas the m60 looked like a car park earlier that day....and you can guess who had more snow!

p.s. to avioid my prob's with Kwik-Fit this week........ give you car/wheels/alloys a nice wash before you attend and make sure you show the tyre fitters that there's no marks on them prior to them swapping the tyres over. Let them know any damage to the alloys will be at thier cost. Also inspect the wheels before you leave the fitters. I know you probably will any way....

I use a firm called Event Mobile, always been very happy with the care & attention side of things, but good advice all the same. These wheels will now become dedicated winter wheels, plenty of time to decide which bbs she'll be wearing in the summer

I am still trying to source these tyres but it is a pretty impossible task.

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 225/40 R18 92W XL with rim protection ridge, GRNX - £263.40/£265.60 fitted

mytyres have removed it from their web and no other supplier can get them for 6 weeks!

I'll keep trying.
