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.

Thats just so wrong on so many levels imo :sad:

....Really? Why? :surprised:
I no longer have my Monza 17s and my batcave garage is fully loaded so no room for a third set of wheels - I've even got a pair of tyres in my entrance hall!

Just find it a shame to risk such lovley wheels as your monzas in winter.

....Thanks for the compliment but winters aren't so harsh down here in <soft southern shandy drinkers land> and I wouldn't be venturing out in the snow anyway - I'm very lucky because unlike many who work I don't have to.
If my Monza's were still diamond-cut I'd be in real trouble again - Road salt is their enemy.

Was going to get a set of these fitted on Saturday but got quoted a price of £148 quite a price increase on what i was quoted earlier in the week so i just decided to get some Conti Sport 3's instead at £123.
Next year im going to get myself a set of 17'' Monza 1's.
I just cant see how the tyre distributors are getting away with putting the price's up so much!!! Ok fair enough if the manufacturers are but places like mytyre etc probably had a fair few of these in stock bought and paid for way before the snow hit.
LouCyffer:
Supply & demand is the reason. After last winter, there was always going to be more interest in winter rubber this time around. I got my Vredestein Wintracs in September, at £130 per corner (225/45 18), so my winter wheels were ready & waiting. Frankly I'm not surprised at the price rise now.
