Winter tyres?

[redmoosefaction]

Evening all, Hope your all well!

 

Thinking about putting winter (not snow) tyres on my iveco daily as it is appalling in the wet let alone the ice, and I reckon that it would be cheaper to buy these than have an accident, or even, not get to a job!

 

Can anyone recommend a particular brand or do you have any good or bad experiences with them?

 

Also anywhere that has them at good prices.

Or should I put cold weather tyres on...

 

or even mud and snow????

 

Help!

I recently put a pair of mud + snow tyres on the back wheels of my Transit, they seem a bit better but I haven't really tested them yet

 

Mine are made by Collins, Polish I think, they're retreads

I have Fulda winter tyres on my Merc 412, double wheels. Great stuff, even for driving over wet lawns or light mud. I keep them on in summer too.

I have a Daily 35s11 and first sign of snow the traction is useless. so got a spair pair of rims and had a pair of snow/ice tyres [put on. Now when it snows or i'm off road i just put a dicent jack under the tow bar and take a cordless impact wrench and seconds later were away. You should see the looks when ur towing a 4x4 out th snowwith a long wheel base hi top van. LOL

 

Beware if u want winter tyres they have a softer compound than of rd tyres and all weather tyres are just a con IMO if ur having SOME get SOME!!!!

Vredstein tyres are very good. Brilliant in the wet and last. All winter/snow tyres will make your van use more diesel.
