I wouldn't want a car that was unbalanced ... so i'd fit them front and rear but that's just me.

This has made up my mind!

4 Tyres or 2?

Ordered some Nokian winter beasts yesterday - 4 of them - so will be fitted soon. However, I will not be going to all the effort you have to make my stock wheels nice and shiney, purely 'cause I cant be bothered!lol. Looks good when it's done though

Good choice with the Nokians. I put my winters on today - went for a spin tonight and they feel terrific!

UF - Came across this whilst looking for winter tyres information. Like your style. Beer, frying pan, wheel!

That beer box is full of various grades of wet n dry paper

After a week running around on winter tyres, even in non winter temperatures .... i struggle to see why anyone would want to 'upgrade' to 17s from 16s. The ride is nicer, the handling is less snappy and the back of the car feels much much more progressive when it lets go.

Where did you order them from and how much?

I need some new rear tyres ASAP and trying to decide if I should put on all season or winters.
