Picked up a spare set of wheels
Picked up a spare set of wheels
As per Title managed to pic myself up a set of spare wheels for winter use. All four have good tyres as well so they should keep my new tyres good as well.

Re: Picked up a spare set of wheels
No just planning on using these as they have four Bridgestone tyres with the lowest having 5mm of tread. Being that they're second hand there's a couple of marks on them so I'll use them when the salt starts going on the roads and they can take the stone chips

TBH, you could be wasting your money. Those tyres won't be worth sh1t on ice, snow etc. regardless of tyre depth they are not winter tyres and will struggle. I also assume they are nice and wide....if so, that will only make the experience even scarier if you get bad weather.

I didn't buy them for going up the Alps or that. They're there to save my wheels that have been refurbed getting stone chips on them. Only mentioned tread depth as buying them is a lot cheaper than buying new tyres when they wear out. Being that I own a garage I'm well aware that they won't grip in ice or snow as well as winter tyres but I bought them as winter / spare wheels so if they get damaged it doesn't matter

Re: Picked up a spare set of wheels
Fair enough. I was just concerned that you wouldn't get what you had expected from them.
