RE: Tyre question again ..

Paid £865 for 4 x 19" Pirellis inc valving with my own TPMS valves/ sensors and balancing. Also they are not charging to take the current 19" tyres off for me. As the tyre place cannot get me the Pirellis they are supplying the more expensive Contis at no extra charge.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Tyre question again ..

Pete, just had a phone call from the tyre shop to say my Continental Snow and Ice tyres will be in this week - I had 245/45 19" Pirellis on order but they cannot get hold of the Pirellis so are supplying the Contis at the same price. The Contis are a couple of quid each more expensive.

RE: Tyre question again ..

I paid £865 for 4 Peter, going to need them sooner rather than later too - down here at 30m above sea level it hasn't let up raining all day, really heavy rain and there is flooding all over the place in the Forth Valley BUT it has eased off and the clouds are clearing to reveal WINTER WONDERLAND on all the Trossachs hills - SNOW down to about 200m and the car temperature gauge is showing +4C at 4:30pm............ and falling according to my little weather station at the house

RE: Tyre question again ..

Pete, I'm really sorry but I took my wheels to the tyre shop this morning and have only just found this post - I assume that the techy stuff you ask will be the same for the 20" wheels and I have 4 of them on the car and 2 spares in the garage.........

Ahh yes the info will be perfect if you can see it on the 20" wheels or even photo it if you are unsure.

I drove through 70km of snowstorm, only one lane plowed, on way to Whistler in BC Canada last December. I have the original Conti Cross Contact that were two years old, 25k miles, and was able to overtake at 100kmph in unplowed lane. Not a twitch (with Snow selected on terrain response) Would have taken several more hours to get there if I followed those who chose to drive at 50kph. Tyres were fine. Just looking for replacements now (looking for something with better tread wear, and quieter. I don't put a lot of miles on car, only at 27K miles right now, but they are worn.)
