Clio RS200 GW
Decided to put my winter tyres on do you think I will be seen ?
Are these REALLY worth it ?? Cant see them making that much difference ?
Two guys at work have these fitted to there BM's
Made next to no difference, they still got stuck last year haha.
But then that's Bmw's for you. They payed near on £700 for the "BMW PACKAGE"
I LOLLED!
Will probably of been their driving, can fit all the packages you need, if you can't drive they aint going to help lol.

Somethings not right there.
I've run a few BMWs and with winters they were perfectly fine and usable. Ice, packed or fresh snow, all no problem.
Plus £700 for a set from BMW? No chance. Would have been more than that.
FYI.
Lol at the winter tyre car getting to 30mph and stopping before the summer tyre car gets to 30mph.
I recently put on winter tyres, although I haven't driven in the snow - there is a significant improvement over wet weather driving. I drove from Aberdeen to Leicester not long after all the flooding and I saw various bits of standing water on the trip and have to say the tyres were very good at clearing them. The Trophy in wet and greasy conditions slips and slides easily - with the winter tyres it's much more planted. (This is at slow speeds, not hero driving).
The negative is clearly the cost, my tyres cost me £380 for hankooks with a reasonable review and I put them on a cheap set of OZ f1's (16's) I bought some time ago. All in all it's a £580 set up - so far I do think I could have managed without them which does give them a high opportunity cost.
Insurance covered the change in wheels as free because they are winter tyres - a nice bit of common sense prevailing.
This is my first winter living out here without a 4x4 and we don't get gritted in our village lol
The tyres aren't the issue as I'm hoping to get some of a friend who does grasstrack racing (most of what they use are labeled winter or mud&snow)
It's the wheels :-/ what other cars/size would fit on my cup??
Winter tyres are worth it just make sure they are a good make
To be fair though, in snowy/icy conditions even a cheap brand such as Nankang would be better in a winter tyre form than say a normal summer use tyre such as Falken or Continental.
Just to randomly bump this for anyone interested.To be fair though, in snowy/icy conditions even a cheap brand such as Nankang would be better in a winter tyre form than say a normal summer use tyre such as Falken or Continental.
