Hi Sam, It can be very expensive to get a 2nd set of winter tyres especially on the larger cars.
I have a Lexus LS600HL and the winter tyres are around £275 each plus fitting.
If you want to indulge in a 2nd set of Lexus wheels that will cost you a further £4800!!
I was able to get a set of Lexus 19" wheels with Winter tyres already fitted from a German dealer for 1200 Euros which was a bargain.
The European countries have been watching in horror at the snowy weather and lack of preparation by motorists and the Government and will be bombarding the UK car dealers with supplies of winter tyres as they think we'll snap them up in future.
I drive for a living and have to say that the minute people see snowy roads they pile out for a drive in it rather than stay off the roads.
I'd be fascinated to see how many of the people stranded in the bad weather really needed to be out in it?
I wonder if anyone else have ever noticed how busy it gets as soon the snow starts to fall?
