Looks to be about 150-200 per corner for half decent fronts and 200-250 per corner for half decent rears.
Of course you might be able to save a few hundred notes with ditch finders.

I'd just leave them on until they're shagged whatever the time of year!   

If it's fine to use summer tyres in winter, then you can use winters in summer, which I have and couldn't tell the difference to be honest! 

I'll probably get shouted at now......

That sounds logical to me, Sir Tig.

Thee fronts look almost new .......the rears about 5-6 mm ish.

Depends how you drive to be honest although the winter tyres tend to be very noisy in comparison and dry grip is less.

I did notice a fair bit of tyre noise. Even so, it was still far more 'hushed' than my MV6 on Goodyear eagles.

Cheaper to insure than a Daewoo , got to be a bonus

Hmmmm...only a small bonus though. Opti will just look at it, driving it would be far too expensive for a tightwad such as him.

I won't be using it as much as the Omega, taking Mrs Opti's Corsa on shorter trips.

She'll be fine with the bus.....mixing with the great unwashed.

It does. But no more sonorous than a V6 Omega in full flight.

I checked out a few  Monaro's in the Autotrader. For a 2006 car they range from about £7-£10,000.....which, I think, is on the steep side.

Far more muscular than the Merc though.

Merc a bit more refined though  Mrs O can have the Monaro for shopping

After a call from the owner  we've agreed on £6750 for the CLS 500.
 .....

You knew it made sense     

Start saving for fuel now. I'd imagine that you could easily run the mpg down to low teens.     

As much as I'd have loved the R500 I just couldn't justify a 5 V8 2300kg 4x4    They can keep up with a Golf GTi at the lights 

Sensibilty made me buy the R320 though 

Best figure I can find for the CLS is 1824 KG ( Kerb)..........which still puts it in 'fat bastard' territory.

I believe that the VW Phaeton also weighs about 2300 KG.

Women don't possess the mental capacity to appreciate cars like us men, Mr Emd.

A ten year old Corsa will do just fine.
