FAR better than Mytyres.

Mytyres - Ordered 4 Winter tyres about 4 weeks ago. Rears arrived then got out of stock message about fronts but NO other communication despite me sending countless emails and trying without joy to get hold of them by phone. Finally lost patience and cancelled fronts.

This crowd - Ordered fronts on 16th late afternoon. Arrived a few mins ago. Trouble free.

Off to get the fronts fitted now. Put the rears on yesterday and they are brilliant!
With the rears on I can get traction in all sorts of slush and snow (as long as it's in a straight line and I don't want to stop).

With the fronts on later I hope to be able to turn and stop and everything.

Wooohooooo!

Kumho KW27 255/40 R17 98V XL M+S Rears - £300

Nokian WR G2 225/45 R17 Fronts - £187

(And £20/pair fitting)

Only sizes I could get in the current rush for winter rubber.

I do 20k-30k miles per year and am self employed so getting to work is useful for my bank balance.

I could WFH but I'm nowhere near as productive as when I'm able to hassle people in person.

Will give a write up over the next few days.

I bought from them before they were very good. I was going to get winter tyres but couldn't justify the ridiculous cost.

Went for Hankook V12 EVO's in OEM sizes and they are really good in the snow for a summer tyre, cost about £250 for all 4 fitted :-)
