I'm not bothering this year. It's been costing me £100.00 per year to get the tyres mounted and to be honest the couple of times it has snowed enough to need them I was still stuck crawling behind everyone else on 'summers' heck if the weather's that bad stay at home!

Got caught once in really heavy snow on summer tyres and the T5 really helped me out by hauling itself along in 3rd gear at 1200 rpm...sailed past loads of stuck cars that night.


Now I've said that it'll be the worst winter ever lol.
