Re: What did you do today?
We've been very pleased with Michelin Cross Climate all season tyres but that's on two cars. I don't know if they do ones for a Transit though.

Re: What did you do today?
Got three of those on my saab. Did have a set of four but gf ran around with an under inflated one and fucked it, arsehole. She took it to a tyre place and they just fitted a shitty budget .

Fark me they're pricey. More than double what I'm used to. Chinese winter ones are half the price. I wonder what they're like.

Re: What did you do today?
Winter's are £60 each.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283708860190
Budgets £50 each.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174474872139
Got to be worth a tenner extra surely?
Would the branded ones really ve twice as good?

Re: What did you do today?
You didn't ask for budgets!
Chinese winter ones might be ok, or terrible. Those eBay ones look a bit terrible. Try 'em and so a review in the spring?
I bought a set of all season tyres this year, because I've no room in the shed for a dedicated winter set.

Re: What did you do today?
I might be being thick. I was hoping to use the winter ones all year round. Are they shit when the weather warms up?

Re: What did you do today?
I think they wear like fuck when the temp goes up.
If you look at tyre tests in general on all season, they take longer to stop in the warm/dry than a summer only tyre. Winter ones will exaggerate that effect.
