Re: Winter Tyres
I am sad enough to have winter wheels, summer wheels and some rims with snow tyres on, but for the last two years i have stayed on the every day tyres and have not hit any major problems.
Rainsports are a good all rounder, and i am running Yoko C drives which have never let me down, but tyres are a personal choice thing as in most cases it is how you drive her.

Re: Winter Tyres
Snoop,
Where do you live. In Aberdeenshire there will be days where an MX5 on summer tyres is just dangerous amd only one winter in about 2000 I think, there was no need for winters.
That would not be the case down south so again where do you live and what areas do you drive in.

I live in Falkirk mate which is inbetween glasgow and edinburgh so think that I will likely be seeing some adverse weather conditions lol.
most of my driving is in town and only work about 5 miles from my house so not excessive driving but of course want it to be safe.
Cheers

Re: Winter Tyres
Yes a set of winters may well be of use to you as it can get a bit iffy down there and if fact a few years ago it was worse your way than up here in Aberdeenshire.
You can either look for a set of alloys and put winters on them or now you can buy steel wheeled winters from mytryes.co.uk.
I did that for a coupl eof VW's last winter and have just put the winters back on a Golf last night.
