Winter tyres for 182?

[Comp Mag]

Hi to all readers,

I am about to fit winter tyres to my 182 with sport suspension.

Now I am chhosing between:

1. Pirelli snowcontrol 210 in 205/45/16 format

and

2. Michelin Alpin P2 195/50/16 format

Can somebody advise me properly?

Thanks

Do you live in England?

Is it really worth putting on winter tyres for those few days?

Hi,

I live in Alps region. And countriy policeman are allergic to 182 reincarnation, especially without winter tyres.

Use of chains is not homologated on this car so something must be done regarding the winter rubber.

Any experienced Scottish drivers from the north of UK??

Well Ive just got some snowcontrol but they arent on the car yet. When I was looking at tyre tests both scored realy high, the alpin was a little higher buts its also more expensive. Dont think you can go wrong with either.
