All Season Tyres needed??

[B21]

I think he was suggesting when it’s damp / cold etc he’d rather have the extra performance of a winter / all season tyre…

With the wildly oscillating temps it’s a struggle with pure winter tyres.,even in Scotland ..so all seasons are a good choice for the winter months wherever you are..

Thanks.

I cannot see that it is advisable to drive summer tyres all year round in the UK. But summer tyres are good for summer.

Winter tyres don't seem to be particularly necessary in the south of the UK, apart from maybe a few days a year, and I am happy to take Mitsubishi out on those days.

I think I need to enjoy my wheels and tyres this summer, and buy new wheels (18", silver, genuine BMW or otherwise look "classy" or like they might have come with the car from new) and fit all seasons in a few months time. Over the winter I can think about refurbing the summer wheels and replacing the almost gone summer rears.

Sounds like a good plan..especially darn sarf..but even up here, the weather is too variable for pure winter tyres..on a bad day I lost 1mm on my winters on an unusually warm day..

I have Continental AllSeasonContacts on my hatchback run around, am very pleased with them though did not get much of a test this winter what with it being so mild.

I have them on mine for winter, I can certainly attest that they're significantly better at transmitting 500 Nm to the tarmac than the Michelin Super Sports when it's cold and damp < 10C

Michelins are a bit scary when cold!
