The same all year 'round here in the NW part of Oregon. Wheels are Nurburgring's and tires are Conti Extreme Contact DW.

They don't salt here...they spray magnesium chloride.  :wink:  I pressure-spray the under carriage regardless after driving on sprayed roads.

Depending on budget. I will go see my local used tyre place (hes actually quite good has decent stock).

If I find any nearly new Michelins or Goodyear (maybe Dunlop or Contis) winters il get them. Wont be paying more than £35 a corner.

If buying new I may be trying the Nokian WR3 that are recommended on here.

I picked up a set of OEM 16" steels with Dunlop Winter Sport on them from a classifieds ad a couple of years back, for £200.  Still haven't used them yet!

I might use them this year anyway, even if we don't get a cold winter, just to see what they're like!
