yep, don' buy cheap tyres

that may not look like much help, but my old car had goodyear tyres, which were spot on, even in snow you couldn't make the car slide. the new car has nangkang on it, which are hopeless especially on the motorway and the road is wet.

I had a quick look on the net and the cheapest i found were £90 each

mytyres 63.10 each delivered

I had some cheap Michelin tyres on the rear of my 406 and only got 90,000 miles out of them. Next time I will buy some long lasting ones.

My latest set of 205-60 15's on my '86 Fiero GT are Korean-made Woo Sung 602's (cheap) and handle better than any of the BFG's, Goodyears, or Pirellis I've had in recent years. Stick like velcro in the rain, and even snow traction has been outstanding. I've put 15,000 Km on them with absolutely no sign of wear (and the Fiero's a heavy car, driven hard...). I've now bought a second set for my Locost, and my friend just bought a set as well. Cheap tires CAN be good!

I fitted some "cheap" tyres on my tin top, purchased from our local tyre fitters, 195 x 60 x 14's "Runways", £32 each, (fitted). They have been on for three years, done about 12000 miles, and still look like new, but most important they hold the road very well, in all conditions. They were purchased on a local cab drivers recomendation as being long lasting, and with good road holding. So some "lowcost" tyres can be good. Cheers Ray

Zetec, I know it's a bit cool now over there, but when was the last time you drove in snow?

Update: He is getting snow. Don't worry, it'll go away soon!
