Winter tyres went on to the daily driver (Passat CC 170TDI DSG to give it its full title) at the end of October. 5 years in Canada and 5 years in Luxembourg convinced me of the value of winter rubber.

I bought snowsocks last year as a safety as my C220 Merc estate is s***t in the snow with it's 245 tyres.
This year I spent £900 for snow tyres with alloys. I have winter tyres when I lived in Bavaria & they make a big difference Why not buy used steels, you will probably get 2 ok tyres as part of the deal then put the winters on those???? half price and 2 ok tyres as part of the bargin??

This year I spent £900 for snow tyres with alloys. I have winter tyres when I lived in Bavaria & they make a big difference It can be worth checking on any offers going with main dealers. Last year when I equipped the Mini with winter rubber, having shopped around on t'web, I happened to be in the local BMW/Mini garage buying a new radio aerial and asked him what he could do for me. They had an offer on with 4 pirelli winter tyres mounted on steels for €570 the set, which he let me have for €500 after a bit of negotiation. This was over €100 less than the best deal I'd found elsewhere, and he swapped them over for me into the bargain, so I didn't even have to get my hands dirty. Result.
