Just wanted to say thanks to The Plumber for his advice; just got a set of Goodyear Vector 4Seasons 225/50 R17 98Vs fitted, £615 inc fitting, VAT and balancing, from Fields Tyres in Hove, East Sussex (http://www.fieldstyres.co.uk/index.php), which was cheaper than I could find on-line from BlackCircles or similar who were carging £174 per tyre. They feel great on the road so far, so will be nice to have the extra capability if/when the weather turns bad again this year. Cheers.

Cool, will check them out. Cheers.

Many thanks TP, it's a standard 140, so will check out the 94H rated and if I can't find those will settle on the 98Vs. Bloomin' Blackcircles really confused me there. Cheers.

This is a really useful guide but I'm a tad confused. I contacted Blackcircles about a set of Goodyear Vector 4S for my Yeti but was told they were for Audi's only so not suitable - this was the V-rated version. The specs for my tyres are 225/50 R17 98W, of which the W seems somewhat overkill. So a few questions: 1. Can I still use the "Audi only" tyres? 2. If not, can I safely fit the H-rated Vector 4S tyres or other H-rated tyres? 3. Failing that, any other suggestions for All Weather tyres - I've seen Hankooks which look prety decent? Btw, having a set of Winter tyres inst an option sadly. Cheers.
