I posted a deal a couple of days ago for the 215/50/17 version of these tyres at £81 per tyre, and this seems like just as good or better for the 225/45/17 version. £61.78 per tyre delivered ( using the £3 off discount code: TYRE17 ). These are around £100+ in many places.

Unbelievable price, many thanks OP. Less than £250 for four branded tryres, used to paying around £500.

Not only branded - but generally considered the best all weather/season tyres you can get.

I have run two sets of Continental winter tyres since 2011 (in the winter) got caught in the savage winter of 2010 in Scotland. So will see how these compare this winter.

How much does it cost to get them fitted?

Depends - a local garage charges £10 per tyre (which is not unreasonable). However Ford said that as we get our servicing done there, they would swap over tyres for £10 in total.

My tyres are 215/45/17 but these will go on fine, Thanks.
Show me an A rated winter tyre?, B is good for winter tyres they are worse in wet than summer tyres.

Now you raise an excellent point there. I'm still tempted to get them but I promised myself I was going to only get an A rated rain tyres next swap after having toyo t1r's let go unpredictably/ non progressively several times under controlled circumstances in the wet. They are also B in wet I believe. They aren't a patch on the Toyo proxes of old in the wet either :disappointed: Im of the opinion that most of the time a good wet weather tyre suits UK conditions more often than not! But a great price for a great tyre. I'm having trouble deciding! Voted hot anyway!

You being serious? I have some highly rated Hankook evolved ones which are C rated and Continental winter ones which are C also, but E on many cars with a slightly different wall size. B is a fantastic rating for Winter tyres.

I need two 205/55/16 tyres, should i go for michelin xl cross climate or Nokian weather proof?
alecb to aaqeel
27 Sep 17#55
Probably best not to mix this type of tyre with another type. Suggest that you check with Michelin.
Don't bother asking a garage as they know bugger all about tyre technology. My main dealer once swapped new tyres with full tread from rear to front as "they were the driven wheels". Michelin say that where only two new tyres are fitted, they should ALWAYS be fitted to the rear axle.

Would two for the front do or should all 4 be changed?
luvsadealdealdeal to jayelloh
26 Sep 17#34
you can change 2 front or 2 back no problem - as they wear & need it
try & avoid changing 1 at a time, if you have to, make it the same tyre as is fitted on the same axle, other side
jayelloh to luvsadealdealdeal
26 Sep 17#42
Ah yeah I would do that normally, I meant to benefit from the winter features of the tyre in snow should I change the front 2 or all 4. Thanks!
luvsadealdealdeal to jayelloh
26 Sep 17#43
these aren't brilliant snow tyres
so you should change all 4 if you want some decent benefit

These have a tread pattern like winter tyres but are all year round tyres , I just wondered if they are any good .Anyone done any serious miles on them that can report back ?

Just ordered 4 for my Volvo V40. I wanted these tyres and the local garage was charging £410 fitted!
Got 4 of these for £247 and can get fitted and balanced for £10 each/ £100 in my pocket is better than in someone elses'!

You buy tyres based on one day every two years?!
luvsadealdealdeal to sparklehedgehog
26 Sep 17#39
actually winter tyres (this ain't a winter tyre!) are much more efficient at wintery/ snow & ice temperatures anything under about 7 degrees C

Yeah? They're only a couple of quid more in this size......which to get?!

I bought 4 cross climates 2 years ago and they were £142 each for 215/50 R17. I noted the OP posting again about them a day or so ago at £81. What a tough decision. My tyres are hardly marked as I don’t do a lot annually. Should I buy at this amazing price? How do they store, when will I need new etc. These are also upgraded + tyres. My originals are the best I have ever had. I personally think this is one of the hottest deals I have seen here. They are so good I may change my car before I could use the tyres if I buy and store in my loft

if you want a tyre good in snow, you should be looking for this sort of tread (random tyre but same tread feature)

26 Sep 17#46
Well I've bought some. Thanks op. I'm still unsure if I made the right decision re. Wet grip and also whether they are suitable for my sort of driving/car (4 wheel drive 255+bhp) but we will see.

Good price for good brand tyre but...
Cross climat are not good tyres - IMO
They are made from soft compounds to get the grip of Winter tyre but in the summer the tread will go off very quick.
Hence the reason winter tyres should be taken off the car when temp. rich + 7 degrees
I would say they are perfect for those Countrys where wheather is rough all year round. In UK like those hot days this yr - no !
Heat added for price tho

How well do these wear? Im running Uniroyal Rain sport 3's and tend to get about 15-20k miles out of them. They're excellent in the wet too.
Tempted to get a couple of these and store them...only about £16 more per tyre than what I paid for my last Uniroyals.

Yeah mine came too. Ordered 4, 3 turned up. So rang Amazon and now have to wait another 2 weeks for a replacement. I'll just go to a garage next time I think.
