True enough, but narrower tyres work better on snow.
I can understand that but we will probably have 3 days of snow a year so I could sacrifice un petit bit of ultimateness in snow for the rest of the winter where it is just a little frosty / cold.
As said, it is all relative to current experience...
Back on track of the post - any suggestions / experiences of a 225/55/16 winter (ish) tyre.
Nokian WR A3 has also been suggested to me.
Hi,
I'm currently using 225/55 M+S winter tyres on a 16" alloy.
Had them on since late October
Conti M+S on Rear and Verdestein Wintrac on the Fronts.
No complaints so far. Up to my armpits(sic) in snow this morning and dug my self out. What with the 'snowflake' button and my M+S's never missed a beat and hasn't proved too much of a problem noise-wise either. Came down the A11/M11 this morning in the freezing wet and was completely happy.
Has been very surefooted on the uncleared roads round here so far
Next winter I shall change to 195's (Thanks for the info Stu!) as it would appear pertinent to do so.
Can you put a 195 on a 16" wheel? ?195/55 or 195/65? (Given the 195's seem set up for 15's)
Looking forward to getting back to 17's and sunshine and warmth!
Matthew
