Where you at, geographically? London area doesn't get that cold...

Winter alloys and tyres are good for colder areas. The boys have been busy with a winter tyres thread. Read it when you're not sleepy......

Then get some.

Nice taste in shoes/handbags is never a bad thing as far as I am concerned but I get where your fella is coming from.  :)

To be fair before you came along 535dboy was the only entertaining one on here anyway!  ;) :)

Damn. I get a bit busy at work and stuff and miss all this........ :-[

Waaaaaay too late but welcome IQ...lol.

A very good friend lives in MK so I do pop down that way from time to time so never know might see that lovely motor around sometime. You've settled in wonderfully and you've really helped build D's post count  :P (and other stuff for him too).

If you rely on your car in the winter with snow then get them if not don't worry

2.5t on wide summer tyres is scary, a bit like watching Sanj on some skis in the snow I should imagine!!

Tbh I've run the X through a number of winters on 22's, 21's and 20's all shod in summer tyres. Even gone through in the 18" winter tyres on the BBS's and tbh it's been fine on all the different sets of wheels and tyre combos with no issues.

But then it has all been on normal roads etc but still some white deep white stuff again no probs.
