I spoke to Keiran the apprentice and he reckons he can get them for under £80 which is fine by me so should have these babies on the Skoda soon. It's done 220k miles so far so hopefully it lasts long enough to wear it's new tyres out.

Excuse the hijack but I need to put some new rubber on the wife's ML320. Trouble is, it has 20" wheels, 265/45/R20. I tend to stick with Vredestein tyres on my own cars as I've used them for a few years now and been very happy with them but I can't find any winter or all season Vredesteins in that size.

Any other suggestions for either a winter tyre that will still work fine in summer/wet conditions, or an all-season tyre that similarly works all year round? Would prefer not to have two sets of tyres if possible.
have a look using the reg number on black circles then look for reviews on what pops up. The reviews will almost certainly compare the tyres BC offer with other types and you can pick a winner after half an hour of research. You'll likely want all-seasons for running all year round but that's probably a subjective thing with the recent rise of winter tyres.
