I'm thinking of getting 2 snow tyers and putting them on at begging of October. I had the choise of Insa-Turbos £21 each from work trade price but there remoulds so wouldn't want to risk it in normal none snow conditions. The other option is Vredestien snow tyres at £33 a tyer + vat, I was woundering has anyone used these and what are they like as I might get them instead comes to about £72 for 2 new Verdestinen!

Nothing wrong with insa turbos, remoulds aren't how they used to be.

I know you mean Mud & Snow, but I couldn't help reading that as "these aren't just tyres, these are M&S circular, sticky tyres"

Probably thought he could drive like a boss cause he had snow tyres on his 2 drive wheels.

Heard of people putting on just 2 tyres, obviously not as much grip as 4, and you have to watch and not get over confident but as long as you dont throw it into corners I cant see it being a problem
