Winter tyres on.

While I had the battery charging, and looking at the Siberian weather that's forecast for next week, I thought I might as well swap the tyres. Winter tyres/wheels are now on.:yesnod:

Weather, do your worst!

Well, maybe 12ft.

I've told you a million times Clive, don't exaggerate!:nonod:

Why do I change to winter tyres?



Spot the MG!

Its just not fair, I want Snow, Got my Sledge all Ready , Thats if the other half lets me out after last year, our eldest mangaged to break her foot crashing into a fence. :sick:

Believe me, it loses its appeal pretty quickly!:yesnod:

A couple of artful shots.

its certainly lost all appeal to me...... had to walk to walk for the first time in 29 years :ohmy:



thinking of snow tyres for the spare set of 16" wheels....... whats the cheapest i can get? remolds/retreads will be fine certainly aint going to be breaking any speed limits

What I would do is look for the most popular size in 16" that'll give a similar overall diameter.
I know 195/50/15 is the cheapest size for 15s.

hang on and I'll work it out for 16s.

edit - 195/50/16 appears to be the cheapest size - £50ish for a winter tyre.
