My winter spec 182

[George182]

An interim service and thorough check-over by Mick at Diamond Motors, plus a set of cheap steels (cheers Nick172Cup) and 4 195/50/15 Hancook W310 I*cept Evo tires and she is all set! In cold and wet conditions the difference between these tires and my summer pirellis is staggering - if you enjoy driving get winter tires!!

Excuse the winter dirt and the bumper damage (damn you wet and recently painted multi story car park floors)

Looks looks rough TBH.

+1, looks a right shed! Winter tyres are brilliant though, good call.

She scrubs up well, but I average 13k miles a year!

This was taken only a few months ago:

Nice. What exhaust is that?

 

[George182]

It's a scorpion rs192.

Looks lovely when clean mate, not too far away from you, best colour aswell.

 

[Leeshez]

Nice .

Buy OZ f1's and rattle the winter tyres on them, that looks poorly

 

[George182]

Ha ha I quite like the steels, they do the job perfectly. I am going to invest in a set of 15" alloys anyway, it rides - much better. So ultimately they will have the winters on.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

You'll get F1's for £150

 

[George182]

I know

But I am oddly chuffed with the steels!

 

[Paul172sport]

Looks nasty on steels but least scrubs up well but personally no way could a drive that for the next 4 months or so. Rather kerb the oe rims!

 

[ch!ppen]

Screw winter tyres. We probably won't get enough snow to make them worthwhile! Lol

+1 Would rather pay £200 every year to get a refurb than drive round for half the year with my car looking like a shed.

Finally someone who understands the concept of winter wheels! Bravo mate.

Out of interest, why did you decide not to spend £200 on a set of wheels and then another £100 spraying them in a rediculous colour? Like all the usual 'winter wheels'. Is it because it is retarded?

You are my new favourite member!

 

[Tunst]

il be honest id spend £2-£3 in pound land and spray them a stupid colour

im planning on winter wheels next year cant afford this year haha

 

[George182]

Ha ha ha! Someone agrees with me, at last!

Its not about kerbing my standard alloys? I cover quite a few miles and the car looks pants all winter, so having steels on makes no difference to me.

The car is maintained regardless of cost, despite appearances. This is just a practical solution!

 

[George182]

Given the incredibly long winter we are having, I think I made the right choice getting a set of winters this year!


They have been fantastic and as I said previously I would definately recommend them.
