Nice and Safe!
With the weather expected to be the worst in the last 100 years..you will need these!! I on the other hand have a set of winter wheels on my run around..a manual front wheel drive Honda. I wont be risking my new baby in the snow... rear wheel drive auto's in the snow...you might as well walk!!

Is that what their saying for this winter?
My eta is mid December so I was going to wait until end of the month or beginning of December before I decide to take the plunge on winter tyres. I have no faith at all in any weather forecasts past 1 week.

Nice and good to be ready
I have both sets of winters ready for our 2 cars this weekend. Just not looking forward to doing the work to swap them!

So I paid £2K for the lot and transferred them from car too car, they have done no more than 4K miles in three years.

Looks great! It's amazing the difference the winter tyres make, dispels the myth that BMWs are rubbish in the snow - it's all about the tyres! My 135i was fine in the snow last year with winters on it. They were Bridgestone Blizzak LM25s 225/40/18 all round, and I'll also be putting the same ones on my F30 when it comes, as they'll also fit that.
Now you just how to watch out for the folks in 4x4s with all-season tyres who think they're invincible in the snow! |

The car does look the "Dogs" with this set-up though. Different.

New high heel pumps for chilly days already? My goodness, you don't lay around, dear chap! Now you can fill your enormous rear cavity with lots of shopping even when it snows! Any other winter wear for your baby?
What offset (ET) are 18" wheels for the F30, please?

Hope that rear compartment remains custard cream clean. I bet you've sprayed it to death with Scotchguard spray. Congratulatons on a B.Sc. First Class sibling. Honours too? Like father, like daughter, I presume. We need more engineers and scientists in this country. I graduated in engineering from Imperial College and got a few more degrees on the way from them. Have forgotten nearly everything in my dotage.

We can't compete F30AM, John spends sooo (please don't correct my grammar) much money that he has the right to be OCD.
