heard lots of folk who splash the cash on winter tyres ,never bothered ,just parked up and walked ,dependant on snow deepness......with front wheel drive and most astra"s been crap in snow ,would you invest or not bother?..
for me ,living on a big hill could be good idea ,but agree with you ,extra not really needed,got to say ,slight incline and car wont shift ,bloody rubbish :shrug:I know they're supposed to benefit anything up to 8-9 degrees but I don't have that much bother unless there's snow and we definiely dont get enough of that down here to justify spending the extra cash.. so it's a no for me
I guess it depends how important it is for you to be able to use your car when (or indeed IF) it snows this winter. Just gotta weigh up those pros and cons!for me ,living on a big hill could be good idea ,but agree with you ,extra not really needed,got to say ,slight incline and car wont shift ,bloody rubbish :shrug:

spot on but ,if car needs to run for work purpose .could be brass well spent ,or are they very dear?make a huge difference, but expensive for only a few months of the year.
I bought a 4x4 as a plaything but for winter it will be more than usefulnot really for my benefit ,would be for other half ,i know splash cash on a crappy 4/4 cheap .....ive no trouble getting to work .
pick up for next to nought now ,suzuki should suit my lassI bought a 4x4 as a plaything but for winter it will be more than useful
These would be my choice http://www.camskill.co.uk/m11b0s131...ter_Sport_3D_-_225_40_R18_92V_XL_(AO)_MFS_TL_ but at £600 not cheap. best bet is to buy some old vectra or astra 16" or 17" alloys cheap and save some money on the tyres, then just swap the wheels over in the winter months.spot on but ,if car needs to run for work purpose .could be brass well spent ,or are they very dear?
