Time to change back?? - Page 4

Just waiting...... ice on the roof in the morning yesterday, so could be a while.
The winter alloys are lookinga bit tatty as I bought them cheap, but I suppose that's the point?

Took the plunge and switched over from the winters to the summers. 19" to 22" change. Not sure which I prefer the look of now.

My main reason for changing back is that I am off to the Netherlands this week and for Easter and I see it is going to be warm. Seemed a little foolish to stay on winters.

Changed mine yesterday. No low single digits lows on the horizon. Just to think I had frost on my grass on Sunday and it’s 15 now outside even without any sun

Likewise, just changed mine over this morning.

TIP.
When changing I noticed that the black plastic finger nuts inside both rear arches were very lose and needed at least 2 or 3 turns to turn them from finger “loose” to finger “tight”.
For reference there are either 8 or 9 holding in place the rear arch liner........

Changing mine on Wednesday when they do the recall on rear strutts.

Changed mine a couple of days ago. Now back with the noise and poorer ride of the summer tyres.
