Bring on the snow!!

Just had my winter tyres fitted to my winter wheels which I will be fitting tomorrow for winter!;)
Wasn't looking forward to exalto's again in the snow or damaging my rims :(

Too right,185/65-15 Federal HIMALAYA WS1 winter tyres,should have went for 185/60's though as there slightly rubbing on full lock,nothing serious might stop once they wear down abit

Only paid about £117 delivered for them,which doesn't seem to bad,if I can put up with p1ss pulling from my mates on the name of them ;)

Great idea that - fitting winter tyres. Shame I've not seen snow here for about 10 years (good old south coast :rolleyes: ), otherwise I think I'd give that a go too.
By the way, your car looks identical to mine - I've even got a white Ring sticker in the same place! I don't have the black strips on the doors though - not sure I like those personally.

Aye 'twas a lovely day, surfed all the way home!

Your wheels make the car look loads better.

After the snow ....was looking around on here and found this.
Very smart plan. I found out how bad exaltos are in the snow / ice last week.
Front of the car slid off down the road camber into the ditch while puling away, had full Righthand lock on and taking it as easy as i could without stalling. road was like a wet icerink.

If your thinking of taking a chance with your clio in the snow on 205 exaltos. don't.

I have to agree with you on that, Exaltos are shite in teh snow, I had to abandon my car last year!

This year i put 4 fresh kumho ecsta KU31s on my spare rims just for winter, difference is night and day cant believe how well they do in the snow TBH
