It's one of the reasons mine isn't a daily driver, granted you can hit a ninja spec pothole any where, any time but driving day in, day out on some of our roads is just a total chore with the 18's and 4C setup.

As an aside, martin from Montrose who just sold his black V70R has / had a set of Alutec 17's with winter tyres for sale... not sure if he still has them or not.

I think i have some Pegasus wheels buried in my cellar not sure if they are 17 or 18 inch ones

Going though Glasgow the other day I HAD to take to a lane to avoid the roadworks in Sauchiehall Street that WAS a VERY VERY PAINFUL EXPERIENCE I even stopped once out in Blythswood Square to check the wheels were still there and undamaged.....I wont do that again in a hurry.
