My Pirelli P6000s were basically bald and I needed some new tyres in order to pass the MOT. I really want some bigger rims but I've not decided which yet and once again the thought of buying some winter tyres for the wheels went through my head. Enough threats, I finally bought some!
Having read a load of reviews I decided on some Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport tyres, 205/55/16 with a V-rating. I bought them from www.mytyres.co.uk. When ordering I was given the option of having them delivered to a tyre fitter, well it's not like I can fit tyres myself so that made sense. I opted to have them delivered to "Paul Neal Car Body Repairs", about 5 minutes from where I work in South Yorkshire. I was told they would take about a week to be delivered.
A week goes by and I hear nothing. I rang Paul Neal Body Repairs and spoke to Paul Neal himself, he was very pleased to speak to me because it turned out he has no tyre fitting or wheel balancing equipment and a truck had turned up a few days earlier to drop off 4 tyres he knew nothing about! He said he kept checking his bank and creditcard statements in case someone had tried to charge him for them! I told him I ordered them through mytyres and he said they had incorrectly listed him, although he is due to have some tyre fitting and wheel balancing equipment installed it's not due for a few months!
Two in the boot

. They have the internationally recognised snowflake/mountain logo on them and are one down from studded tyres. They seem to make more noise than I'm used to but that's only to be expected.
