I can just about abide one on the downtube, but those rear ones look more child catcher than Crud Catcher.

Don't ride past any schools. lol

[wwmnw]

Well seeing as I drive for a living I'll be using the works Crafter which just so happens to be RWD and even in the wet the back end steps out of line, winter is going to be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun, or not.

[grooge]

be using my nova right through or if it snows and i cant get the car out my street i'll probably use the motorbike

was going to get a clio 182 my mates work took as a px but needed a bit much spent on it

[Hobbit]

Taken my T4 off the road to get a turbo upgrade as trying to tow the nova with 60bhp just isn't cutting it.

So got my boosty isuzu van back.

I'd be going sideways everywhere if I had something like that in the snow lol

[Novasport]

Fitted the winter wheels and tyres to the wifes BMW last month so that should hopefully get her through the winter months safely.
RWD with the right tyres can be better than a 4×4 or FWD with the wrong tyres. I was amazed last year at what a difference they make.

[EwanG]

I will be driving my daily mk5 golf gt tdi 140 chipped to 170 and has gti front/rear bumpers/skirts. Just fitted dunlop sp winter sport 4d tyres to get me through the winter :d

[Rage]

my cav has now got it's winter tyres on the original gls alloys a set of riken snowtime's they seem a bit nervous at the moment but they are brand new so think i just need to bed them in and get rid of the hairs off the tread

[Novasport]

I got lucky with mine, got a set of new demounted genuine BMW alloy wheels for £100 and a set of new Pirelli runflat winters for £250 fitted for all four. £350 for about £1200 worth of wheels & tyres :) The grip from them on snow is unreal, feels like you are driving a 4x4 with them fitted.

[Rage]

jammy git depending on the size you would probably be looking about a grand for the tyres alone. just be sure to keep a check on the pressures if you don't have a tpms or you might find yourself in a world of hurt if they are run too far under pressure. i have seen first hand the extremes that pirelli runflats can handle but they get extremely hot and that is where you end up with sidewall damage and blowouts

[novadave24]

got my self a bmw e46 :)

[Richy12]

A 306 d-turdo and the brother has a ****ron xsara d-turdo

[pie]

[novadave24]

that be fun if it snows pie :)

[chrisd1986]

Ive never bothered with winter tyres as a bag of grit and a spade keeps me going

[bazzap8389]

^ I just fitted some tonight to my Audi as it was absolutely gash in the snow last year never needed to bother before when I was using my gt4 that was better than my Audi with 4 semi slicks on it lol

[chrisd1986]

Tbh think the ones I have on atm are ment to be rain tyres but they are crap in the wet lol

[Alex J]

winter tyres are for girls, we dont have a winter here worth spending out on them lol

[novadave24]
