Winter tyres??

Well none of those are winter tyres.
They are summer or all season.

On these Lude and my daily van I just run summer tyres as never needed winter tyres. Too cold and snowy I don't work and when I do get caught out its been fine.


But

In my s660, because its mid engined and rear wheel drive and I do drive it in the ice/snow and cold. (no silly bugger business sorn ing it for the winter). It does snap oversteer if not careful.

I use hankook winter w452 le cept. Double staggered sizes but excellent cold winter tyres. No oversteer. Quite spongy though but that's compared to ad08r it uses in the summer and are rock hard.
Winters are going on next week.

Yes it's weird, I noticed that, even the uniroyal rainsport 3 I have say it's a summer tyre but rated A for rain.

I run Falken Eurowinters on the lude and my 5 series. Never had a problem on either.

Previously used some uniroyal MS plus 77 on the wifes old car.

Just checked the price for her new civic 235/45/17, not as cheap as i was hoping lol. Slightly over kill for here down south - winter never really gets that bad, and the few days it does, just work from home.

They’ve saved me more than once in heavy rain.

Snow is a different matter... there’s not much will hold you on the road - I’ve had plenty of skids in snow with a 4x4 shod with cooper all terrain tyres.
