That’s all making sense - thank you!

Thanks. Not worried about the speedo as my GPS readout will be accurate. What’s the difference between ET35 and ET40?! I’ve no idea……

“You have to be careful to make sure you get the correct ET, where did you buy your steel wheels from? I got mine from my main dealer in Durham, 4 new steelies were £230 incl VAT and I put 4 Dunlop Winter Sport 5's on. I've used them once in snow and it goes anywhere, I bought the Kamiq 16" wheel trims from the Czech Skoda parts website and they were €40 for 4.” Thanks AJ89. Could you send me the part number of the wheels you bought please? I know it is 5 x100 I need but there seemed to be ET35 - which I think I need but also ET40. id need the tyres from my existing steel rims changed over so did you get that done at a local tyre supplier? Thanks

I think that they do! I was sceptical until I’d used winter tyres in snow but I want them every winter now! Thanks for all the comments and ideas. I need to source some steel rims that will fit my Kamiq and get my tyres transferred to them.

Just tried to put my winter tyres on my Kamiq but the wheel nut holes don’t align with those on my steel rims! The Kamiq has 205/55R17 tyres and my winter tyres (on steel rims) are 205/55R16 but it is the steel rims that are not the correct size for the Kamiq. Have previously used this winter tyre/steel rim combination on both a Passat and Octavia. I’m considering putting the winter tyres on new steel rims but where can I find the compatible size? It is the holes for the wheel nuts that are different! Any advice gratefully received! Thanks
