LOOK! I just bought myself for Christmas: Winter Wheels & Tyres.

[Rolfe]

This forum is fantastic!

It put me on to DealDrivers.  Although I didn't get my car from them, simply waving the DealDrivers quote at my dealer got the price of my car down a lot.

It explained to me how to get the same insurance I had been quoted £650 for, for £250.

It taught me all about winter tyres, last year, so that I ordered the things before the panic and the price rises this year.

What's not to like?

Rolfe.

Love you all but love hurts sometimes!

Tyres on their way in two parcels! Yeppie!

Mind still says payment received, so hopefully they'll ship tomorrow.
My wheels are at my couriers local depot, so hopefully they'll be delivered tomorrow - if not, I'll go up and collect them and take them to the powdercoat place myself!

Asker, buys himself £1500 Christmas present, I buy myself something less expensive  North south divide 
I like. 

It was either that or a crashed car. You've also got winters so don't you make me feel bad as it's not fair. 

Still cost me less than half

Please report when they are fitted and you have had a chance to use them in anger.

For storage I've got a couple of these, one for the GTI and one for the wifes summers and alloys:

On the other thread I was going to point squirellGTi at this site as they have stock of winters at decent prices, when you factor in the exchange rate

I'm not too good at German, can you get this in the UK? Thanks

[gizzywizzy]

What would you do without me. I'm visiting you in the summer. That's a promise.

My Michelin PA3s are now £318 on the mytyres site! Mad, mad, mad!

I'll get the kettle on

Dearest, I'll expect more than that.

Can't wait for my tyres now. I feel quite chuffed for
taking the plunge.

I was about to translate this for you (honest), then I noticed the Union Jack link to translate into English, couldn't be bothered reading it all though. Typical German efficiency.
