    Mark, your leaving it a bit late for getting decent snow tyres now. Only made for UK typically once a year from what I've been told. Have you tried Camskill or ask Steve at Wheelrite? :wink:

    I use General Grabber AT's btw. :lol:

    could not fault the Ultrac Sessantas that where on my car before the Pirellis, pretty damn cheap and where great in the winter conditions.

    Hope so. They seem like a good tread and feel quite soft n grippy. Looking forward to trying them, going to get some for the mrs too

    Recently picked up 4 x Avon ice touring STs, 16" from Oponeo at £88 each. They have gone up since though but the company was superb to deal with, ordered Fri aft and arrived Mon morn

    I picked up 4 Pirelli Sottozero W240 serie2 for £145 each, these should last me a few years, got these from goodgrip.co.uk, delivery was free and no hassle getting them (they came from sweden), not many left in 225/45/17 V but they had quite a few on 215/45/17 for the new age wrx drivers :)

    Tony :)
