Winter tyre/wheel loan?

[drpep]

Anyone know anywhere I can hire/borrow a set of winter tyres & rims for a 997 GT3? I don't plan on doing much with it over winter but would like to retain the option, irrespective of rain/coldness. It wouldn't see any use once the gritters are out but I don't like the prospect of being constrained to warm sunny days only.

You could loan them to another 997 owner.

I'm not aware of anyone who does hire but if you work on the theory that you aren't wearing your summer tyres when the winters are on the tyres are a wash over a couple of years. A second hand set of rims will hold their value pretty well so if you budget, say, £1600-1800 you won't lose much if and when you sell the car on. Assuming you are on 19's I understand the sottozeros are hard to get hold of as the opc's have bought them all! Also, are the wheels centre lock? There aren't that many tyre places that can get the right level of torque if they are that means you'll be paying the OPC for changing them.
