Hey peepsI am driving to the Czech Republic and then Italy at the end of December but the law in the CR states you need to have winter tyres. Can anyone recommend some which are ok but cheap? They are to go on my 207 ________________________________________ |

I put on my set of Michelin Alpins today and they seem to have a lot of dry grip. Also supposed to last ages longer than the competition, although snow grip isn't necessarily quite as good.As long as they've got M&S markings you'll be legal. Germany requires winter tyres to a degree too, whereas in france you only get fined if you block the road. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

The michelin alpins are fantastic. I had them fitted last year and cant rate them enough, even in deep snow in the swiss alps they were exceptional. (that was on a renault scenic we have as the family car not on the 6.) But they are not that cheap! But you get what you pay for with tyres! |

Ok, thanks. So just make sure they have M&S (dont know what that stands for, i presume not marks and spencers )stamped on them?I will also try Blackcircles.com as usually get my tyres from there. Thanks for the recommendations peeps  ________________________________________ |
