Looking into winter wheels + tyres

[JezzaMac]

Just looking for some advice on the best winter wheel/tyre combo! Got a 182 and was thinking about trying to get some cheap 15" Alloys, possibly Dynamique ones but i might look into other cheap alloys to stick some winter tyres on, im not sure about what offset would be best though?

Thanks

I've been using Avon CR85 for the last couple of winters mate and very pleased with them. Only got stuck due to ground clearance, the tyres still pulled it along in all that snow we had.

Got some 15" megane coupe wheels that you're welcome to try for fitment wise if you like mate. Probably have 4 for sale before long too

Depending on how much you were looking for them then a test fit might be quite useful!!

Probably not much, renclio on here has first refusal on buying them but you're more than welcome to chuck one on. I'll speak to callum and see what he's thinking. Usually too busy doing his hair to make decisions Had them on my ph1 172 before and they're fine. Iirc they are exactly the same fitment as dynamique wheels.

Any alloys so long as they are 15 inch (cheap tyres)

I have some ugly 5 spokers off a corsa (not original/dont know the make) same as above really the only time I had issues was down to clearance, even passed some stuck 4x4s lol!

Personally im not bothered about the offset, as long as they don't rub, they're only on for a couple months when you won't be pushing too hard anyway. Vredestein snowtrac 2's are good traction wise but I think they wear quite quickly,
Running fuldas up front this year so will see what like they are.

Look for tyres with the wee mountain symbol when your buying

Cool man well im not in a rush for them so you can leave Callum to do his hair for abit longer haha can you give me a rough price (PM if you want) Just so i can work out monies! Also are they 185 or 195 wide?

I'm just about to order some Avon Ice Tourings on 15" steels for a total of £440 delivered from mytyres. Seems to work out about the same as buying old aloys and tyres.

Can you link me?

But then I've just seen a trader on here offering 195/50/15 winter tyres for £43+vat each. If I can get a set of wheels cheap then that's a better option.
