I've got Conti T800's and they're brilliant. Loads of grip, shockingly so.... back end is out everywhere but you have the grip to accelerate out, which makes is very rewarding. 4 of these would be brilliant, but I went halves with a mate so only have the driving wheels.They're brilliant though, I'll definitely be buying another two next year so then I'll have a set of 4 for the following year ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

winter tyres aren't just for snow, they are for temperatures below 7*c - I'd like to see them become a legal requirement between November and March  |

Finally got mine put on today. I've only done 50 miles on them but I couldn't agree more. Car feels much, much more planted. Can't believe how much more secure it feels.  BTW I checked all the usual suspects last night looking for a set for my neighbour - appears there's no winter tyres of any brand to be had anywhere for love nor money ________________________________________ Cheers,Rob |

Due to me slightly foolishly asking a local carer/nurse agency if they'd like a hand i've now done 130 miles in up to 8" of snow. Imagine i've been sworn at loads as I sailed past pretty much anything else up and down countless hills around Gloucestershire.Hill start on a 1:10 in 4" of fresh snow.
