    Summer and winter tyre recommendations

    I have 205/55/16 Pirelli P6000 tyres fitted all round on my C320 saloon. I think they may be the "Powergy" range but am unsure without checking, the unused spare certainly is. They are all fairly new with good tread, one brand new last Saturday as the one it replaced was out of shape...

    The Summer Clean

    Right - that's that done for the summer. Detail is not a verb (neither is text but that's another story) Process - cleaned at local hand car wash, followed up by Autoglym Super Resin then Autoglym HD Wax. I like Autoglym HD Wax.

    When do you change from winter to summer tyres?

    Out of interest, when do forum members generally take off their winter tyres/wheels? I believe most people use winter tyres from November to March, but would be interested to know people's practices. Particularly as it feels so much warmer recently!

    Winter tyres in the summer

    Is there any reason not to use winter tyres through the summer months, I work for a company running 20 cars and they are looking into the benefits of using winter tyres (at my suggestion) and have asked if they can be used in warmer weather as well, the cars do around 50,000 miles a year so they...

    Summer tyres/winter tyres

    Needing new tyres soon, so have been trying to research what is available. I have noticed some tyres are referred to as summer tyres and some are all season. I imagine this is due to how the 'rubber' acts in the ambient temperature. (A bit like oil viscosity ranges and ambient temperatures) Now...

    Summer has come to Cumbria(official)

    Today, get home from work at 5pm, warm (12c) and sunny, spring like. It did, however, snow last week, so I'm not convinced. Quick look at the weather forecast & jetstream reassured me, so I make it official.... Winter tyres off, summer tyres on:bannana::bannana::bannana:
