Hi,
I have a set of these on 18" wheels.

I was looking for a set of winter tyres, but these were being sold locally, almost new and were too good a deal to ignore.

I have had them on for 4 months without any issues.

Living at the bottom of a steep lane, I needed tyres that would enable me to get ...
