I've got two sets of wheels for winter and summer, but the summer wheels came with the car and are 275's which give an horrible ride. So instead I just use the winters all year round. The grip isn't quite as good as a proper summer tyre, but obviously in winter they are much better.

This is them after nearly 20,000 miles. Can't complain really. Means I don't have to bother changing wheels twice a year.

i've been tempted to fit winter or at3 tyres for the 'all year round' experience but we dont get snow here that often so kinda defeats the idea..

i also find normal tyres and the FF's four wheel drive do a good job in the limited bad weather we get.. ... - .- -.

I know what you mean Stan. The equation is a bit different here in Switzerland as there's a lot more snow and also the legal aspect of being on the wrong tyres can get you in a lot of trouble!
