What winter boots have you fitted this winter ?

[Tez]

So winter is now upon us and i thought it was time to fit the winter boots !!
Heres a few pics of the Summer and Winter boots.
Summer boots are 18" 9+9.5 staggered with Pirelli P Zero's
Winter boots are 18" 9's all round with Continental TS810 Contiwintercontact

I also have a full set of std 16" 5 Stars with Dunlop Sp's and a full set of Z4 Stars with Nukang NS2 ( these all came with the car when i bought it )

We've got Michelin Primacy Alpin 225/50 on 17in 284 style - but they're on the Alpina. The M doesnt go nowhere when the weather is that bad.

Nice wheelies Tim but word of caution ! i had a BMW MINI JCW Works and fitted wheels like them, they look the dogs, but after the winter they were totally fooked where there were micro stone chips in the laquar on the polished metal the salt from the road got under the coating and started to erode the polished metal, within just 6 months i had to buy new wheels again, hence the reason i have the polished on during summer and the painted solid wheel in the winter !


My old Cooper JCW Works, are a car i miss soooooo much

Cheers Tez, I went for these alloys as the rims are stainless steel and resistant to corrosion i.e. not laquered as opposed to polished aluminium. Just run some Autosol on the stainless every so often to keep them shiny

Nice MINI
