Winter Tyres

So you're to blame! 

I have the same problem as you pal!!

If everyone pretended they had winter tyres like me... we would all get to where we want faster!

Gilly, I think your rubber is very special. It works inside out and both ways.

Judging by how much grip mine find in ice, they maybe would have helped.

Much damage?
Hopefully not...

Well it was either kerb or truck that didnt stay in its lane. I chose kerb... although it seemed soo much worse it the time. Thought it was a full frontal/ front wing as the car wouldnt drive in a straight line (steering had to be at 180 degrees to go straight).

Getting out and inspecting and it was just the mirror casing and wheel out of shape. Strangely enough no damage to the monza's 


hmmm might just give those winter tyres a go after all!!

My theory is that the cost of 1 accident pretty much pays for your winter tyres.
Pay day today, so I'm going to get something ordered in the next few days.

At least you're car didn't get much damage this time.  Was your last accident not in the snow too?

People on the radio today wittering on about how we don't "do" winter tyres in this country, oh the expense and all that.

Just doing the front pair cost me a princely £240.  For goodness sake, that's peanuts, and it's postponed the need to replace the regular tyres until March.  The garage man was going on about how expensive mine were, too - because of the wide performance tyre size.  A couple for an ordinary motor are going to be pocket change.

And what's you're insurance excess, and how much will your premium go up if you have an accident, not to mention the extreme inconvenience - and possible injury or death!

Some people have no sense.

i've probably left this a bit late but after 2 days of 'moderate snow' i'm beginning to get a bit more worried about more and more. it's not been too bad in Greater Manchester but today i did have to dig out my driveway to park up. so is the consensus just getting a pair for the front sufficient?
