Post by: stealthwolf on February 17, 2014, 03:22:16 pm: I left my F1s on too. A lot softer than PS2s and hence seemed to handle better in the colder climate. I normally swap to winter tyres when it's consistently below 7*C.

Ha, gaaaay.

Mine would have been on for UD but they're not going to be built in time - they'll be on when the gritters go away.

Post by: skard on February 17, 2014, 11:34:33 pm: Nearly out mine on the other day, then it snowed.

Otherwise, I can't be arsed and have fallen out of love with my car so will see when I can be bothered changing them over.

Post by: Deako on February 18, 2014, 06:40:34 am: The gritters haven't been out in the midlands. No salt on the roads at all.

Just going on my RCs for UD. Benefit of having relatively scene winters!

Buy them to use them man wheels are meant to be turning !

Agreed, on the few occasions it has frozen - there's been ice on the roads!
