I find it comical that folk stick old small size usually with old/nackered tyres on for the months you'll need grip the most!

I wouldnt expect anything other from you Des, but ive seen it with my own eyes local folk sticking old steelies/alloys on that have been sat in the shed for 2 yrs+ & with shocking, uneven, different stye of tread. Must cause some folk to crash fitting 'winter' wheels
Another reason I dont bother is I dont tend to keep hold of cars that long to see them over 1 whole summer & winter! I just enjoy what ive got to the max while ive got it

Some wheels are more prone to salt etc. if I had something rare then I would do it but then I wouldn't be using the car at all if it was that rare

My freshly painted wheels are going to test the winter. If they come out fine with all the salt and shite, then they will last forever
