Don't put them in direct sunlight, I hear they melt

well just having them in your garage will no doubt have you slewing off the road at the slightest hint of a corner

That happened to me this afternoon when driving home on a set of Nokians. I'm actually posting this from the afterlife.

Mobile phones only offer a fraction of the cornering grip that tyres provide.

This time next week most areas of the country will be struggling to make double digits.

Snow shovel arrived today, much to the amusement of my missus and the delivery driver.

I just bought a new set of tyres all round. Funnily enough I didn't opt for winter tyres.

[Melvin Udall]

Mine are in the barn.

[Deva Link]

Don't worry, it's going to get cold again next week. From mid-October onwards it's looking like it'll be very cold, and there could be snow.

[danyeates]

Just in the process of setting up our ski and snowboard shop! Hoping for a very snowy winter!

[Deluded]

Ive been on winters since july. they grip stunning and no, they havent melted this week.

I like to think of them as supersofts!

Ive done 4k on these avons. the fronts look a little worn but the rears still look brand new.
