Fit them now - I have - there is absolutely no point in waiting.

I can't understand some folks reluctance to changing - a week or two will make no difference to the cost of using them - but may make a big safety difference in early morning or evening journeys.

And as for those who still don't see any benefit in winter tyres - may your good luck continue.

cheers booked in for later in the week on my day off they will be done then

Winter Tyres ? How posh is that ?

Yep and I wonder how many of those who swear by winter tyres still go out and buy prestige rear wheel drive cars with big wide tyres?

And what would that have to do with it?

You're not going to suggest that cars with narrow tyres wouldn't benefit from Winter tyres, surely?

Mine are going on a week Friday, the 6th, just in time for the Tempest and Wales Rally GB rallies. Will probably be wet for most of the following week going by previous years.
