my mot and service light came on 3 days ago, took it in and was told my service was for pollen filters! said i didnt think i needed em in the snow, but told i had to ave em to keep the book up to date £30.00! plus fitting, then my back pads needed changing plus the wear indicator approx £100 and my mot (which passed)! wahey, told my tyres next, just dont know what i will put on (think ill ditch the runflats)was toying with the idea of vredstein wintrac extremes as they say sticky as hell in ice and snow, plus ok in summer as well, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

wow tbh all seem wear and tear bits, they would need changing at some point so cant complain.

I give up spending crazy money on tyres nowadays, all well and good but for day to day use cheap tyres are just as good cheap michelins would do the same job unles your running it on track days every weekend.

plus you dont mind so much when you do give it some beans because the tyres didn't cost you so much lol

your deffo right greeney,what u got on yours? if yours are holding in this i might follow your lead! and what size are yours? my backs are bigger than the fronts

tbh I aint sure of the make of my tyres they're the locals budgets at £50 a corner my tyres sizes are 225 / 45 / 18

on a track day I'd end up upgrading the rubber but for road use where the car doesn't get too hammered and require the limits of grip on every corner. Not gone off the road yet but I guess I havent pushed my luck far enough then lol
