We had another 2" of snow ovenight and temps here at the moment are around -0.5°C and dropping. It feels like it's going to be a long, hard winter  :sad:



Snowed here all day and now it's about -3 brrrrr, where are you abouts?

Seriously considering taking 4 months off and going to my house in Athens.

22/23 degrees C in Ahens, freezing in London. Minus 3 degrees C tonight.

Mytyres  :rolleyes: Maybe they're cheap but their customer service is rubbish.  I've heard nothing from them since 24th when I placed my order, tried phoning but they don't answer, tried e-mailing but they don't e-mail back.  Going to give them until Monday and then will get seriously torn into them.  Looks like more snow for us lot in the East tonight.

I took a risk and let Kwik Fit do mine.

They were excellent.
 
Polite, efficient, cheap (cheapest quote for me online) and very careful with my wheels (they pointed out a 5mm mark I already knew about).
And they store the summer tyres for the winter.

I've not been there for a long while but was impressed, things seem to have improved.
I feel a lot safer with the winter Contis as you can really feel the difference in grip.

And it gives me peace of mind. :smiley:
