Popped your cherry yet? - Winter tyre user's that is

[cptsideways]

So hopefully with the latest flurries of the lovely white stuff you've popped your snow/winter tyre virginity & can report back


As a long time user I bet there will be some funny comments & general OMG what have I been missing all this time. I've used em for the last 20 years on all ours cars, they've gotten better every year & I still think it's amusing going places that people think you should'nt be. Some of my best motoring moments & journeys have been in the snow, to some uttery silly places often purely for the fun of it.


Q1: Were you sceptical before?

Q2: What convinced you to try them?

Q3: On a factor of 1-10 how much difference has it made. 1 is not getting of the driveway a'la previous years, 10 is gettiing up & down the steepest hill you can find that previously was only good for tabogganing

Q4: Are you regretting it now? as you can get to work & won't have to sit at home in your pants all day?

I paid about £70 a corner for 175/50 15 Khumo KW23 tyres.

When did you buy them? I bought my KW23s in 185/60/15 for £35 a corner.

I paid £28 each for mine

Two years ago mind you back before they were even heard of, my tyre man then did'nt have a clue what I was on about.
