Now I have the thing reasonably clean, it's time to start planning ahead for my winter capers.
To have a chance of remaining alive, these will require a set of winter tyres.
Now, with apologies if these are moronic questions - rest assured they are ones I need answers to:
(1) is it better simply to change tyres, or keep a second set of wheels for your winters?
(2) if so, do you need the same size wheels? I've got 19" alloys at the moment. If I replace with (apparently more common) 18"s, presumably it would mess up the tachometer and speedo?! Is there a workaround, or is it better to stay with the same size??
(3) any ideas for a decent source of a second set of wheels? If I go down this route they'll be for hard long drives in the depths of winter so I'm not too fussed about aesthetics. Would rather spend the cash on the tyres!
(4) anyone recommend any particular tyres??
Thanks for looking: as ever, all advice gratefully received...
