Must admit tyres not a good choice. Was on a budget last change time and the only 215/45/17 they had were budget but all four were different makes, needs must at the time.

Sorry to hear this dude :/ lots of idiots around. I think there would have been a lot more accidents today if there were more unconfident idiot drivers on the road today thankfully most were too scared to drive in snow, just really crappy that you had to in counter one of the many/few that were on the roads, hope its sorted out without too much hassle or cost

Bad luck chap. Could have been worse.

I find this auto very good in snow, apart from ground clearance of course. Tyres are budget, but put her in d2 and she climbs most snowy slopes.

That sucks!

Had a 200 mile drive back today in this weather, was very surprised about the lack of idiots apart from the dock in the van who decided he wanted a closer look at dealer sticker in my rear window when going down a very icey hill.

yeah those twats do my head in too why if conditions are bad and roads are icy do they still feel the need to get so close they can warm their hands on my rear window

Sorry to hear you got wheel damage.

People like that do my head in. I was behind someone the other day who kept braking all the time on ice, I kept a good distance from them but it still did my nut.

I've only been driving 5 years and have managed to keep my road rage down but now I've got to the point where I might snap.

Watch out the next Granny who brakes unnecessarily in front of me! Lol
