A point found on the hukd comments log re tyres was that summer tyres might be cheaper now 
I expect summer tyre manufacturing and stock levels are quite tightly managed in order to avoid over-production and high stock levels as winter approaches.
But it does raise the question of 'is there an optimum time of the year to purchase summer tyres?'.
I wonder if someone's done some price timeline graphs? Where I am on the south coast, it's usually so mild in winter that I don't bother with winter tyres, so summer ones are of interest.
