Default 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.

Cheers

What kind of drivers do you think we are......???....!!!! ...

Good question mind

Not sure on the mm, although normal sedate driving. Would have to measure 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.
