I didnt realise they suddenly became ditchfinders once a replacement came out.
Im sure they will be well worth the £150 I paid for them
So who's preparing for winter this year?

those tyres were perfectly good back then, the only reason they wouldnt be good now is if theyve been on the shelf for 4-5 years

Oh, that's something I got to get!

I've got some cheapo 15" alloys for the Mini just cos it's too much hassle cleaning my Team Dynamics alloys with all those spokes.
Also bought a cheapo Suzuki GS500 for winter motorbike duties so I can keep my ZX6R in the garage (the last thing I want to do is drop it on the snow/ice)

nah, watering can with tap water works billiantly

They'll likely be at least a few years old.
Snobbery? No. I just think it a bit daft to get something that won't have been manufactured in the last two to three years.
Well we have four wheel drive on the XC90 and the tyres are apparently decent in the snow. Fingers crossed!
The trouble is you are still stuck at the back of the queue behind the granny in the Micra, the BMW and the Merc

Or to put it another way, you have prepared by living on the south coast. It's not our fault you live in a snowless dump
agreed
Once you past watford gap its just penguins and polar bears come December. FACT.

6 years is the generally accepted shelf life for tyres before they even start to perish / go off...if they're been stored properly, they'll be absolutely fine.

Photocard driving licence works remarkably well I have found.
Also - Heated front/read windscreen and mirrors ***

Not as daft as making things up on the internet though.
GSD3 remained in production in certain sizes both for oem fit reasons and because the Asymmetric is not made in smaller sizes.

i would say my preparation was living in poole but last winter we had so much snow and subsequently ice on our estate, i couldn't get up and down the road that easily. they only grit the main routes which meant no grit on ours so as the snow got compacted and thawed a little then re-froze we had a week of iced up roads.
by the time you got to bournemouth, it was much clearer though.

Nope - will just drive past them with a smug look on my face

Is it possible to put 235's on a 245 wheel? Just for the winter? I ask as there is a £50 difference between the two.

I should probably think about it seeing as I'm going to be in Aberdeen for the winter
Although I need to get a new car (not for snow reasons, need to upgrade the student mobile), however I'll most likely be walking to work so prob won't be an issue.
