Winter Tyres

[am1w]

I too will hopefully be saying:
Freezing roads - pha!
Snow - pha!
 

Must say the Bilgestones have lost quite a lot of grip on the freezing roads. Steering was ever so light.

Gave my deltoids a good rest, but my state of mind was anything but calm!

My PS3s are hanging in there, no major issues so far although the traction control light seems to be quite active 
DSG is superb as usual for me, but then I have five winters of experience so know how to use it properly

I think I am going for the winter tyres next week, if this keeps up, just checking local prices at the moment.

Ordered a set for my wifes Yaris last night on Mytyres, £82 each including steel wheel. Same today are up to £104 each - talk about supply and demand!

What type are most people going for.

I was thinking of just getting the fronts shod, I don't intend on going mad when it is snowing.
It would just be nice to have a bit of traction when going up my lane, 300m up hill with an S bend in the middle..

Supply and demand and oil prices.

Well i left Nottingham at midnight last night, no snow. 10 mins in to the journey it came down think and hard!!

tbh the bridgestones were fine. I think I am so used to them sliding about in the wet, the snow was no different. Was going past rangerovers and all sorts of 4x4's

Main reason I got winters this year was because the Bridgestones were so bad last year.
Great tyres in the summer but simply awful when it's cold and slippery.

Snow - couldn't get out of the driveway.

So much power with the Bluefin.
Your car needs the best tyres for the summer and the winter.
You've sorted the winter ones.
Change the Bilgestones when you have the chance. Hate the bloody things.

Why Amy?

Very good tyres for the summer.

I would have preferred Contis from the factory but that's because I'm a brand junkie.

And I would have liked German (engineered) tyres on my German car.

I just cannot stand the noise they produce and they are as slippery as as a 'merchant' in a souk in the wet.
