johns Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Craig, where did you get your Nokians from, and how much ? Probably looking for a set myself this winter. John
craig mac Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Hi John They came from Mytyres I was £340 all in including Delivery A friend of mine fitted and balanced them for £25 casher Craig
craig mac Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Well Snow has fallen and so far so good Got Stuck on a Brae behind a Jag, He was stuck in the Slushy Snow, He got in to the side of the road and the Scooby went up as if it was dry no spin at all just gripped and went. So early signs are good ps JohnS Nice to see you today Craig
scuba dou Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Can't beat the Nokian's in the winter and they would be hard to beat in the wet as well They do flex...and can be fun when pushing on, but then they do start out with 8 mm tread on them. I have 4 x 225/40/18 with 6 mm tread on them in the garage here; that I might sell if anybody needs them. Don't plan on running the Scoob this winter. See here for info posted last year.
neilswrx Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 i might be interested in your tyres as i cannot fit my winter 16" due to the brembo upgrade i have fitted, what is the total package? and would they fit a 1994wrx as i,ve 17"toyo,s on for summer also cost if anyone is looking for 16" wheels and winter tyres i just happen to have a set with less than 1000 miles on em ta
johns Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Nice indeed to meet you again Craig. Just wish I had those tyres on last night for my journey home. Was a bit slippery in places, but still a reasonable amount of fun until it comes to stopping It's all gone to slush today. Went in past Costco last night. They have Michelins Alpin PA2 tyres for £117 each fully fitted in 225/45x17, but starting on 1st December, there's 20% off if you buy a set of 4, so works out at about £95 each full fitted. Might still go for the Nokians though. John
