Nankang SV1 winter tyres fitted to spare wheels

Cool cheers mate. Am watching them both now.

Yeah ive got the same dilema here. Last year the alloys on my golf got totally ruined with all the salt and stuff. The problem I have is I just dont have the time to clean and wax the wheels every other day to keep them protected. So, sensible thing says to get a cheapie set of winter wheels and use them... but then I dont really fancy using my car over winter at all to be honest, so a 2nd car would be the way forward... only problem is insurance puts that out of the question. Argh!!!!

 

Back to ebay I think and will keep an eye on some of these cheap stock rims.

Going to be locking my zed down for the bad parts of winter, and using either a ford galaxy or vw polo.

Dont want to take the salt risk especially after my respray.

The Zed is my only car......which isn't really a bad thing

Well done- nice purchase.

 

I hope you find the winter tyres as good as I do. Mine are sitting the garage on the touring wheels just waiting to be called into action

Just a bit of an update for this thread:

 

The snow was bucketing down last night, so it was a choice of stay in and watch a film ive seen before or go out in the 350 for a drive in the snow.

I opted for the drive.

 

The winter tyres are fitted and still going strong. I must admit, I had a great time in the snow- good traction when needed with slides on demand.

Some people still say oh winter tyres are rubbish once you drive in snow with them you can't go back.
