Changed on Saturday back to summer and fitted new Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport (£160 per tyre fully fitted) - seem to work ok, though will only know after many, many months

Did not really get much of a chance to try out my Nokians this winter.......
Mine are being changed tomorrow. Be prepared for snow on Wednesday.

Feels a bit early to change back to summer tyres.

There was near-freezing fog by me this morning. It might not have been below zero but it was definitely well below 7C for the morning drive to work.

I'm waiting a couple more weeks to change to summer tyres.

Still mild here and forecast to stay so over the next week, then turning cooler again, possibly down to 4 degrees by the end of next week. Fortunately I don't have to go out for work, so shouldn't be a problem.
