Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Ok, here's the thing. I swapped over to my winter tyres last November. Since then I think I have thought that they were useful for one, maybe two days. There has been no snow and no ice anywhere I have driven (mainly around Lancashire), and temperatures rarely below 6 or 7 degrees. I think my winters are very nice tyres mind you (Yoko w-drives), but my question is this. Should I stop expecting a 'turn' in the weather when it comes to cold/snow/ice and change back to my summers this weekend, or should I give it a another week or two?

rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 I don't think we will see any snow. I reckon another chilly week or 2 and it will start to warm up. It's not really cold anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fusion 13 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 I didn't even bother putting my newly bought winter tyres on OEM wheels onto the car this year Either this weekend or the next I would swap - you're probably just wearing out the tyres given the mild conditions...

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 I swopped my Yoko W drives a week and a half ago. Didn't see the point. Since then it's been win/win with the Primacy's. Much better feedback and better grip too. It's just not been cold enough this winter. The jet stream has been stuck since November, we're getting weather from the Atlantic which means wet and mild. I don't see this changing yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pitman 188 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Well, I will be driving home tomorrow evening from South Wales, on my only 4th best in the latest tyre survey Goodyear Eagles I haven't bothered to fit my winter wheels and tyres this winter, and when I get my act together, they will be up for sale, as they won't fit my car next year 1 Rab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted March 9, 2014 Finally got the time to swap back to my summers this afternoon - just out of interest, and given the car has been up and down using the trolley jack a few times now, has anyone else noticed that the front centre jack point looks a bit more dented each time? I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct point so far as the picture in the manual shows it (photo's would have been so much better than diagrams!)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
