Brand new and there is still EIGHT sets available!

I inflated my winter tires to 2.5 bar. In the manual it says 0.2 bar over summer tyres. It is ok?

Std is 2.2 bar. Winter 2.4bar.

seems to be a few "deals" around

4 x 16" Skoda steel wheels plus Dunlop or similar 215/60/16 "winter tyres" = £700 - fitted to car

so say, £180 for wheels, £460 for tyres and £60 for fitting tyres and wheels to car ........... you can do better if you buy the wheels and tyres separately - maybe save £50 but have more "hassle"

The tyres that I was quoted for were Dunlop Sport M3

Not too sure if I need them as I live near Bordeaux - Nov thru to Feb/Mar - normal daytime temps are 5 to 10 degrees - falling a little at night with maybe 10 to 20 days of below zero evening and early morning temp

But we live in the country and the roads are not great - lots of leaves and mud around and it does get wet in winter

so I thought that I would pick up a set when I am in the UK in a couple of weeks time
