Hi
Last year my wife complained of lack of grip and slipping on snow/ice at reasonable (female) speeds. In past years I've been working in Sweden, Denmark and Germany and have noted that it is quite common to don winter tyres for the winter months. I wondered if anyone had done the same in the UK?
Currently we have an A2 1.6 FSI on a 52 plate with 205/40/R17 with the 9 spoke alloys which come as standard with the sport.
Is it a case of buying alternative wheels and winter tyres as a package or has anyone successfully identified ideal tyres which would fit the alloys we currently have?
Another bonus would be to find some tyres which would protect the rim edge of the alloy as they are so easy to scrape as they are... I might even leave them on all year round !!!
Glad of any help
