Pretty much it came down to I've always ran Conti's in winter months and have been happy with them, at that point the CC3's weren't released and from the experience I've had with CC2's in the past I wasn't keen on them, as I always found them a bit more slidey than the Conti's.

I'm not a big fan of all-season's in general but given our winter's in N.Ire much like yourselves down south have been fairly mild, (although I do think this year will likely be another big winter freeze) hence opting for all seasons over full winter tyres.

Side note, I've never liked Pirelli's at all, took the original Pirell Neros off my Santiago's when new as they were awful, and have been seeing them constantly bulge lately on various cars.

I've always been a Michelin man myself but ever since swapping out the PS5s for the PZ5s, I'm a convert!

They've been winning all group tests for a reason.

Well I have installed what I'd going to call the 'Extended Leather Pack', to my car. Doorhandles and gearbox column both wrapped in Nappa leather with red stitching.

(Ignore the state of the car it hasn't been cleaned out in a month, due to not having the time!)

After not washing my car for 3 months and saying I'd receramic coat it for 9 months I finally buckled and did it, two stage paint correction and gyeon syncro evo / Gtechniq halo added. Ended up doing the inside as well and thought hmm this looks brand new again.

Only downside my Rupes polisher decided to break...
