Alutec Winter Wheels / Tyres - West Lothian
 
I have a set of Alutec Grip Graphite wheels with winter tyres to sell due to the purchase of a new model XC90.

I have used these on a 2010 XC90 for four winters.

The wheels are 17 inch and the tyres are Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme 235/65/R17

The treads are 4-6 mm.

After each winter the wheels have been cleaned, dried, wrapped and stored in my dry warm garage.

Price: £250.

I'm in West Lothian and can deliver around the local area if required.

Here are some pictures:-

Hi Do you know if the wheels will fit an Xc60?

Rooster Jun 8th, 2016 22:53

They should do but will need spigot rings to reduce hub size as XC90's have bigger hubs

That is right. They came with rings specific to the XC90, you cauld easily swap them.

You can get them here, as an example.

Those are lovely.

If I wasn't in the process of a £5K gearbox rebuild I'd have them in a flash !

Would you take £200?

172navigator Jun 15th, 2016 20:02

Yes if you collect them. I am in Livingston.

Franco82 Jun 15th, 2016 20:04

Do you find a difference with winter tyres on?

172navigator Jun 15th, 2016 20:09

Yes, better stopping. General grip must be better at all times but stopping is the greatest difference. It means your summer wheels are not subjected to the salty roads too. My wife is German and insists on winter tyres. We'll be getting a set for the new car, sadly these ones are too small otherwise I would keep them.

Hi,
I'll pop over if Franco changes his mind
