I quote you and? Do you have anything to add about the discussion about wintertires or you are just idling?

Oh do lighten up FGS.

You made a small typo, I made what was intended as a humorous quip, complete with winky to indicate it, and now you're having a pop because you didn't notice.

Life will go on

Enjoy the Nokians

Costco recently did an offer on Michelin Crossclimate SUV. Got a set for £481 fitted, which I thought was quite good. My first month into a new role and the mileage allowance covered these and the fuel, which was also quite good.

I was running Cross Climate 2's until recently. When replacement time came I went for Hankook Kimergy 4S2's, seeing as in most tests they outperformed the cross climate 2s by a small margin.

Very happy so far, theyre much quieter, and over £150 chraper for 4 than cross climates.

Incorrect. Nokian were founded in the 1800s, taking their name from the nearby Nokianvirta river.

Nokia, who took their name from the town of the same name, took control of Nokian in 1967.

Therefore the Nokia name came later, not earlier, and Nokian were not formerly know as Nokia.

Hmmmmmnow if was £50 difference that’s one thing but £100+ and quieter……..
How did cross climates last? I’m expecting to get 30k from them at least have nearly 60k between the oem contis and a part used set of Nokians (I’ll put Nokia’s as that’s what was on the sidewall)

The CC's had worn from new to 3 mm on the front, a little better on the rear in about 22,000 on my XC90, which will be a little heaver than yours. The original Pirellis went a little longer, but were frankly shocking tyres - the car felt like a one legged cat burying a turd on a frozen pond with the Pirellis, but the CC's and latterly the Hankooks are much more assured, oarticularly in the wet.

The bulk of that mileage would have ben distance driving as I generally cycle or use one of my motorbikes locally.

Bear in mine are 255/50 r19, so the price difference with Hankooks for yours may differ.
