The best colour IMO. I love those wheels too. Thanks for posting!

Once air temps starts dipping below 5deg C you notice the difference... Winter tyres are made from a different rubber compound which stays pliable at cold temps, where as the equivalent summer tyre is more like very hard rubber. Being a pliable rubber, it helps to generate heat as rubber is able to more around and generate friction, this creates grip, the same as you see racing drivers warming there tyres before a race.

I've been watching these for the last year as I'd love one, but have no money to buy one. They started at 50k and are about 35k now at a year old. The 3 year pcp buy back is 16k I understand, so about 10k at 5 years? I'll need the get one then...

Mine are fitted with with 20's!!! I am looking at getting Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme from www.oponeo.co.uk and getting my local garage to fit them, as I run into the same problem as you! I've always have a spare set of alloys with tyres so I can swap them over, but, like you i started looking and can find anything reasonable that will fit over them callipers!

I consider one of these when they were 50k, then banged my head against a wall to get some sanity back. Good or bad, depends how you look at it, back then I didn't drive it. Now owning one, I realise it is worth every penny of that 50k! It has every thing on it you will ever need, quiet as a mouse smooth as slick while cruising and has one hell of a kick when you squeeze on the throttle heehee. I suggest you get saving or sell a limb, re-mortgage to get in early and get a low miler

I'm currently undecided between three options - ~£2000 for a set of shod 19" OEMs, ~£1000 for tyres and keep the stock wheels and just deal swapping and storing, or £0 and drive like a grandmother for three months per year, and probably not at all for a couple weeks. Quote:
In reality it's not really an "extra" cost anyway, apart from wheels, if I'm wearing down the winters I won't be wearing the summers after all. But I'm paying for the car next weekend, and have another unrelated expense that's half that again the week after, so I'll see how enthusiastic I am about spending anything on anything at that point! |

Tried ringing 20 or so dealers to find the p* 19" winter wheels.
£2650 + delivery +fitting from the netherlands or about £2500 plus delivery and fitting from volvo stockton - the only dealer that gave me a price. Yes BBS SR's fit - as do a few wheels from Rimstock they have the p* on their fitting guide. Including the Imola's apparently (look good and very reasonably priced). I really wouldn't recommend fitting/refitting 20" low profile tyres on these rims - it wont do the tyre any good at all... I ended up with Anthracite Team dynamics Pro Race 1.3's with Vredstein wintrac's in the 235x19x40 96Y fitment, lighter than OEM and hardened alloy, know several race teams use these with good results from my Marshalling days. for about 900quid less than OEM... Sorry about the pic - car is filthy and it had just been rolled out of the fitting bay at the alloy shop... After a few days with the Vredsteins - grip is good, wet handling is much better than the supersports which are good anyway, car feels a little different and road noise has changed - some surfaces were really noisy with the supersports.
