cost of tyres v cost of insurance

Common size tyres will be less expensive, even for winter tyres I guess.

and I can get 4 tyres for the price of my insurance - and my road fund! And I'm relatively low risk - apart from having 3 points and doing 35k miles a year! |

I don't do winter tyres and find the price of "normal" tyres quite reasonable really!
Mind you, my wheels are like shirt buttons in comparison. They're only piddly little 17s... |

im saying nothing about the 15inch on mine then,, even nice tyres dont run much more than 60 a corner, tho it does cost nearly as much as a years insurance for 5 tyres,,,but they last a Lot longer, and do what there supposed to do when i need them,,,,,
