I might be wrong here, but I'm guessing Mytyres are heavily effected by the main distributers and manufacturers. I doubt the inflation in the cost is solely down to them.

That in itself is a good result AP  :congrats:
I might have to invest in some of these once I've price hunted.

Are you going to keep them in any particular conditions till next winter once you've put your everyday tyres back on?

My plan is to run them from late November to the end of March, weather permitting. With the mileage I do I hope to get 4 or 5 winters out of them, so a sound investment I think.

....Good thinking and great pic that! I'd bung it in your first post.  :happy2:

Do you know if they supply these tyres in 18's? I'm thinking that it might be an excuse to use my powdercoated Monza 18's from November til March, although I never venture out in the snow anyway.

Garth:
Nice one on the review.

I am getting my Vredestein Wintrac Extremes delivered tomorrow for the 330i, so this really will be the big test. At the moment on it's summer tyres, the car is completely useless in the snow and slush (still great in the wet though) and can't move on any kind of incline. I'll be posting a review in a few days after I've had the chance to test them  :happy2:

Cheers Robin. They do the SV-1 Winter Plus in 225/40 R18 92V XL. I'm not sure of the differences over the SV-2 that I have.

I drove straight up a hill last night, and past a Freelander that had got itself into a little bother. It was a laugh out loud moment...... then I realised I should have probably helped them out :ashamed:
