While I had the battery charging, and looking at the Siberian weather that's forecast for next week, I thought I might as well swap the tyres. Winter tyres/wheels are now on.

Weather, do your worst!

Ashington's a good place for it, true!

Oy you two. Ashington looks nice under 6ft of snow...


Well, maybe 12ft.

I've told you a million times Clive, don't exaggerate!

Why do I change to winter tyres?



Spot the MG!


The Lake District, from my garden.

Its just not fair, I want Snow, Got my Sledge all Ready , Thats if the other half lets me out after last year, our eldest mangaged to break her foot crashing into a fence.

Believe me, it loses its appeal pretty quickly!

A couple of artful shots.

its certainly lost all appeal to me...... had to walk to walk for the first time in 29 years



thinking of snow tyres for the spare set of 16" wheels....... whats the cheapest i can get? remolds/retreads will be fine certainly aint going to be breaking any speed limits

What I would do is look for the most popular size in 16" that'll give a similar overall diameter.
I know 195/50/15 is the cheapest size for 15s.

hang on and I'll work it out for 16s.

edit - 195/50/16 appears to be the cheapest size - £50ish for a winter tyre.

I can believe that.
