Cheers for the link Thumbs Up

Now all I need is to convince SWMBO that we need 4 new wheels and tyres as well as new brakes. I've only got 17" rims Big Cry Big Cry 1995 Discovery 1 300TDI

New wheels, tires and brakes increase road safety by making the car stick better to the road! I’m sure she will be convinced Thumbs Up

I received acceptance when I said that “we” need to have Nokia Hakka 9 SUVs with studs on an almost 3 ton vehicle except “same brand as on the Volvo, right?” Thumbs Up

I keep on trying to get a set of winters for the Disco (both Jazzez are on winters) but get the standard answer "if it's that bad you're not going out". Big Cry Big Cry

I've gone from this to one extra part worn Scorp. How the mighty have fallen. Shocked Shocked

Since use of summer/winter tires is mandated by law I think it is easier here - it’s only a question of brand, price and perceived safety. Rolling with laughter

The choice is basically between friction or studs. With the low amount of snow we’ve received this year (looks and feels like a rainy October day outside again...) I really should be using friction tires. The brand new studs will be all Censored by spring but they’re much better on black ice should it ever arrive.

The amount of tires you have in those pictures is kind of a lot, my local tire place keeps less stock Wink

Saldly all now gone. The therapy worked!! Laughing

Sounds like a good case for two sets of winters, one studded & one not. Whistle Question

One set of summers, one set of winters is enough. I don’t bother changing tires except twice a year.

Being down souf I can't really play the needing winter tyres card. Had one squeaky bum moment last year on black ice heading down a single track hill with a very sharp hairpin at the bottom (mini driver trying to barge up must have Censored herself) but other than that my All terrains get me everywhere I need to go!

Never mind the tyres, I would just like a garage to put things in Big Cry 1995 Discovery 1 300TDI
