All weather tyres are summer tyres, you need winter tyres, ith the snowflake/mountain symbol on.

I thought that all weather are the "in between"?

That is not looking good, is it?
They are Continental Premium Contact Tyres.. No more info then that.

Very hard to get wheels that are not just local pick up and 100s of miles away!!

They're summer tyres. You need to look for all season tyres, not all weather. If you can't find winter ones.

No idea what you mean.
I still reckon even two different typres of winter tyres, are better than 2 alone, so long as they're kept as pairs on the same end.

Point was he is getting 4. His query was whether another make of winter tyre on the rear would be a problem which I answered (as you have also)

We are agreeing on this

The winter ones will generally be WinterContacts in the Continentals, not sure they do a genuine "All Season" tyre

An Ebay courier shouldn't be too bad for wheels so may be worth getting quotes so you can widen your search?

I bought my winters last year from a dealer on ebay.de. It might be worth contact a couple to find out the shipping charges to the UK, if stocks are running low.

I have no problem in getting a courier, it is the unwillingnes of the sellers to do anything else form "local pick up only" that is the problem:(
