Fitted mine and the missus winter wheels today. Nice dry day to be doing it and all, but wait.... Did I read the temperature right!! 18c lol. That explains why I was getting a sweat on in just a t-shirt lol. Still we're both ready for the winter now

Mytyres
As a point of interest I purchased a set of 4 Barum Polarus 3 205/60/16/H from mytyres.co.uk for approximately £366 which were delivered last week, however, when I revisited the same web site this week the same tyres are now selling for £124 plus each - "What a jump"

Well, it is no wonder, as rubber (natural product) is currently a shortage product due to the floods in the producing nations (Thailand, India etc.).

I noticed the same thing last year, particularly on mytyres.
I don't put winter tyres on my V40, but I also have a 4x4 pickup which wears Michelin Latitude Alpins during the winter. |

Hope I'm not repeating whats already been asked. I will shortly need one new tyre so I'll be replacing two. Can you have winter tyres on just one axle and your normal tyres on the other (axle dependent on whether you are rwd or fwd)?
