Well, the OP is clearly a bit of a weapon.

Same. I 90% talk myself into a set and then snap back to reality and realise I won't use them enough. If I was commuting every day on the bus / train, I would have a set.

FLOL. Alan you make me smile. We need to have coffee/tea.

For people running winter tyres, assuming you don't have a spare set of alloys, do you just keep your summer tyres in the garage / shed until it comes time to change over again?

I use a couple of the cheap ones from amazon. No issues so far.

Primacy HP or Energy Saver.

I can get Michelin's from a local place for £88 a tyre fitted, so it looks like it will be Michellin's TBH.

Lol. I have played safe. Hence why I'm on the 'talk until you get brain cancer' tariff. Where I simply need to be on the 'talk until your ear is warm to the touch' tariff. In fairness, I got the more expensive tariff because I was using a lot of out of magic number minutes. I'm no longer...

It is standard. And as I said earlier on, I wouldn't say I was scrimping when looking at mid-range brands. It's not like I was looking at putting remoulds or Arrowspeeds on there (I do actually have an Arrowspeed on there at the moment, lol.

Possibly a completely retarded question: Is there any reason at all that 55's would not fit on a Focus? Bearing in mind that it has 50's on there now.

£83 fully fitted in 205/55/16 91V. Sounds good.

The trouble is, I would need to have them delivered somewhere and then fitted, although a very good price.

Changing to 55's improves the range massively, so literally have hundreds of options now for under £400.

Are the all weather tyres a decent compromise between running summer & winter tyres?

MK1 Focus 'Edge'.

Well, 205/50/16V may very well be the way to go. So so much cheaper.

Because that's the size of the tyres that are on it and the size of the tyres that are standard. I'll have a look. I will have a look at the 55, but sure I tried it before and there wasn't a huge amount of difference. My tyres confused the fcuk out of me with the fitted / not fitted, I was...

It's hardly skimping is it. If I were suggesting I would put £20 remoulds on, or even the £50 budgets, I could understand. None of the brands I have asked about are particularly 'poor' tyres are they?

£512 fully fitted Vs £400 for the Firestones.

The Toyo's are actually £115 each with fitting included. Avon and Firestone are winning, lol.

I'm on an iphone tariff being the issue. I wanted an iphone, couldn't be @rsed swapping numbers etc. I want to stay with Orange because of the magic numbers being useful, so for the circa 2000 minutes I use a month, there's no charge. But, the 600 minutes I get free, I barely use.

Right, I need 4 tyres in 205/50/16V. I basically don't go around corners, I spend all my time on the motorway, so don't really want to be dropping £600 on a set of tyres. That said, I don't want to be using budget tyres either. Looking at circa £400 including fitting. Due to punctures etc, I'm...

I've been with them 11 and got one. I imagine it is on it's way unfortunately.

I've just tried to have this conversation with a particularly useless member of call centre staff, but I know there are a few on here who work for orange / are in the know. What triggers a 'best plan review'? The guy on the phone was suggesting it was just totally random.

Click the link in the text. It says explicitly that you can't use it to get out of the contract as it says in the T&C's that they can increase prices. Which reminds me, I need to bell them to see if they will downgrade my tariff.

Black Friday is getting big in E-tailing now. Couple of years ago I was involved in the planning for it for a retailer. PIA. Worth it though. See what deals they have tomorrow, might pick up a nano or a shuffle.

It's fine now, after the third time of doing all the problem solving it works. No clue why it wouldn't before hand.

Meh, serves a purpose. But I'll bite, what's the issue?

But thank you for the very speedy response as per Revels, my go to person to deal with my apple r****d related problems.

Norton Internet Security. I have literally never done anything with this other than virus scan my PC.
