Exactly the same for me too, it's handy too because I can run down to halfrauds if I run out too, that's how i ended up using it. I used to use a flat so how no water supply in the underground car park. I started using optimum no rinse and haven't stopped using it, it's great when you can't be bothered dragging everything out the shed to just give the car a quick wash. It seems your more after something like that that a QD?

I know what you mean, but I imagine there was a point where nobody trusted the Nankangs because they were 'cheap' now they seem to be acceptable to use as a cheap option in the winter. I'm hoping that these can be the same. Thanks for the update, it's good to know they are decent especially over a long period of time. I've taken the risk and ordered a set, if i hate them that much I'll just get them shipped back, I doubt I will have to though.

Also just found the link to a previous thread on them which is what sparked my interest. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/180261-just-fitted-winter-tyresremoulds/ I'll send err Fatbloke a pm and see if he's still got them.

No I know your not and I understand and take on board your comments. I think i'm just trying to be cheap! I have a set of Falken zex912 and parada spec 2's for the summer, for some reason it's harder to spend the money on something that isn't going to be as fun and more for just plodding around in the winter. I need to mull over this one.

It's never ending isn't it! Replied and sold! Sorry Getulus, Ian just got in there before you I'm afraid. There is a couple of sets on ebay albeit a bit more expensive. Both now sold

Cheers John, your map definitely made the biggest difference! Haha it is low, to be honest i raised it up.. but then put 15's on so it went lower again! Nope didn't bottom out once even coming down from lodge onto the pit straight, the JOMs did surprisingly well!

No your right they aren't the best in the wet, when the track had a dry line they were much better! One thing I didn't do was time my lap, I was more concerned with getting round I'll definitely have to next time, and get a camera mount sorted! Thanks I think I've got the track addiction now though lol. Haha! Next track day in the Vrs then?

Pm'd Felicia! sharkrider - I don't have any part numbers etc, probably not worth chancing it, Mr Felicia is happy to have them too. Getulus - Yep they're genuine.

Thanks Would have been good to see your vrs going round However we did all comment on how nice your rallye was, don't see many about! I did! Definitely a challenge especially how slippy it was out there. Will have to try and join a briskoda one next year. I'd like to try the Anglesey circuit.

Yeh!.. Joking aside, I'd like to know why if you don't rate them? Mytyre test gives them 4 out of 4 stars

I'm not too sure if the mk2 uses the same wishbone design as the mk1?

For sale is a pair of rear mudflaps, I've not fitted them to the car and decided against it £20 delivered. A pair of polybush mounts for the front bushes on the wishbone, also brand new. I thought there was play in mine but ended up being a knackered console mount.. Never a cheap fix :( £20 delivered

I won't be spending a couple of hundred quid more though, it's either cheap winter rubber or keep my usual good summer tyres on. I don't have kids etc which I understand gives you a much higher safety tolerance. I do worry about the wet grip though and with hardly any reviews it's hard to decide.

They've done a pretty good job there! I do about 50 miles a day, mostly motorway. I only plod along at 60mph though.

What are your views on remoulds and in particular these from mytyres.co.uk I'm considering a cheap set of winters this year and came across these. I found an old review on here and they were quite happy with them. Read up on remoulds and nowadays they seem to be made pretty well, downside is they can be a bit heavier and take more weight to balance. Anyone else had them? It's either these or nankang sv2's. I'm tempted to try these though because they're cheap!
