Pagani Prototype No2's rear windscreen to do Radio Testing :) Once that is complete I shall be converting it into a coffee table for home lol
Seeing as the wife's BMW has the driving on snow ability similar to that of Bambi on ice I decided to go un the hunt for some winter wheels and tyres.
BMW wanted £450 for a set of steels with non runflat winters at trade price so thought I would try an alternative.
After a stroke of luck I managed to get four brand new winter Pirelli run flats for £235 a set, that for a tyre that usually costs a minimum of £110 each! Just needed to find some wheels.
After doing a 200 mile round trip to pick up some supposedly excellent used rims I had bought for £235 on Ebay they turned out to be virtually scrap!!! After telling the bloke where he could stick his wheels and politely advising him he had just wasted half my day & £30 of fuel I was back on the hunt. Got home, 2 mins on Ebay and found a delivery mileage set of rims, and the best bit, they were listed by one of our suppliers for £200 start price. Rang em Monday and got them for £160 cash(Not sure how that worked but I am not one to moan) and delivered by parts van...

Not quite as pretty as the M Sport rims she has fitted but nicer than a set of steels for winter :)
Got the tyres fitted today so all set for winter for less than £400 :)
This bad boy.
Also a whole load of air tools.... x2 right angle die grinders, x1 mini straight die grinder, x1 maxi straight die grinder, x1 13mm reversible chuck air drill, x1 mini pencil die grinder, box of HSS cobalt drill bits, loads of air line fittings etc etc.

Heavy but still lighter than most "normal" jacks. Easy to pick up still, better wheels too, rolls much better. Lifts faster too. Well worth the £130.
Costco have got the Ally Arcan ones back in stock, gone up in price a bit but still only £110. Cracking jack for the money, I paid £89 for mine.Quote:

Plus they make them easier to move when I take them back to work when they are fitted.
Winter tyres must be the biggest con going ATM lol
Really can't see the point in it all tbh, just seems as complete waste of time and cash to me
Tyre shops and manufacturers must be laughing all the way to the bank lol
It's not like they've made rubber suddenly stick to ice lol
Utter crap, Winter tyres are well worth it. Why would most European countries use them and in some countries the use be compulsary with fines for not fitting them!
See here... http://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/wi...nd-legislation
If you have ever driven a BMW or other rear wheel drive in the snow on summer tyres you would know. That is the problem with this country, we never prepare for bad weather and then we moan when it snows and blame everyone else instead of ourselvs when the country grinds to a halt. Other countries manage that experience worse weather than us because they are prepared.
I have paid £400 for a set of new Pirelli winter runflats and delivery mileage genuine BMW alloys. The ame set from BMW would be over £1000! I could use these for 2-3 winter and still sell them for a profit. Part worn sets are fetching over £500 on Ebay!
Winter tyre are made of a different compound which stays soft below 7 Degrees Celcius where summer tyre rubber starts to go hard. They also have a different tread pattern with Sipes to help grip in the snow better and are better at dispersing water.
I would rather pay out £400 and know my missus stands a better chance of controlling her car in the bad weather.

Please educate your self before making such a statement again.
And YES THE RUBBER DOES STICK TO THE ICE a lot better than summer tires
Fair enough
I could never justify it, it's very rarely icey down here, if it is, it's so bad no one should be on the road IMO
Just seems alot of cost to me for hardly any gain as rubber is never going to stick to ice, and if it's that icey it's too dangerous to drive anyway
But few years back I never ever heard about winter tyres lol
But no I never drove a rear wheel drive car in bad conditions, so I can't really judge there, so spending money to keep your lady safe is what anyone would do :)
I don't need education to tell me that £500 for a set of tyres I will only use 2/3 days of the year would be a complete waste of money lolQuote:

A Landy on summer tyres will still get stuck lolQuote:

We dive on snow and ice all the time here in winter no problem, sounds crazy and mad but we are all doing 60 mph plus on the motorways which are snow covered with pileups dew to winter tiers.
PS I was only talk about tiers before some wish guy jumps in :d
It has nothing to do with snow and ice it's all about temperature and the tier rubber going rock hard, dry or wet
Well I ain't paying for a set of tyres for the winter that cost more than my daily car lol smash it up buy a new one
