Title: Matching winter tyres!??? Anywhere??
Post by: jvanzyl on November 25, 2024, 21:45
 Hi all,

I'm trying to get hold of a new set of winter tyres or even all season ones.. I cannot find a matching set (front and rear) anywhere.. tried camskill, my tyres etc..
Anyone got any ideas/leads?
Cheers
John

I've got a set of FL wheels with winters on them if you're interested but they would need picking up from Newcastle upon tyne

Is the problem 16" ones or just staggered sizes in 15"?

Given that they are winters, could you use the 195 size on front and rears (presumably on pfl wheels) as you do not need ultimate grip and the narrower size might help for cutting into the surface more?

Erm possibly!... How much we talking here? And how old are the tyres?

I was looking for staggered on PFL 15's... I guess yeah.. maybe I should just try for narrower...
