I know this is crazy early to be asking, but given that 1000 RHD cars will hit the UK in Winter, has anyone given any thought to winter tyres?

I think it has to be worth it on a RWD 420 BHP motor, but I haven't done any research yet

Has anyone got any ideas / done any research?

Happy sliding smile

Asked the dealer, they said:-

"Ford haven't given us any recommendations as yet but I'm sure they will do closer to the time of delivery. Until we know the speed rate and load capacity of the car we won't be able to recommend anything"

Looks like Ford are recommending P Zero Nero All-Season

However they are a M&S tyre rather than a full on winter / snow tyre with the snowflake symbol which is what I would personally prefer to fit.

I'm not clear what size tyres will be fitted to the UK GT models (custom pack wheels).

Some interesting points on this thread:-

The Michelin X-Ice3 seems to get good reviews.

As this is going to be my wife's only car, we need to get this decision right especially as we live in the sticks.
