Winter Tyres S40 59 reg
Could anyone enlighten me as to what one could expect to realise for a set of 4 Avon Ice Touring winter tyres size 205/50W/17 off a 59 plate S40. Fitted for just one winter (November 2011 - March 2012) last year so only done about 3000 miles.

how much meat on them is big factor you say 3,000 miles was it 3,000 miles of wheel spinning and skids? i know i should not of said that but the obvious question how many mm left on them.

"Wheel spinning gangbangers with our tunes right up blood doing drive bys innit".... okay okay this was really difficult to write
hmm probably say around 7mm at a total guess. new avon winters are about £130 in this size...i do not know how much you paid i would say 80 ish total guess of course depending on how much you paid and how much meat is on them. edit: it took me longer to write the top line than the rest...i am clearly no "gang banger."

My favourite source of winter tyres is mytyres.co.uk.
Visit the website and check the spec but, if I've got it right, yours are listed at circa £95 each, including vat postage. |
