Taxi Driver Online

My school run takes me into rural parts of Sussex with narrow lanes and mud-strewn roads from farms.
I thought it might be a good idea to fit winter tyres so as to get max traction and braking in adverse conditions.
I've had very little luck in getting any sort of sensible quote or availability.
My tyre size is 205/55x16, 91V.

Any suggestions welcome.

If it's M+S (mud and snow) tyres you are considering, bear in mind they are made with a chunky tread pattern and a much softer rubber.
They wear out quickly when used on tar roads, and reduce your MPG.

Thanks for info but really looking for a wet/cold type tyre with lots of sipes and space for water to escape to avoid skidding.

Vredestein SNOWTRAC 2

I use these they are long lasting and can be used all year round
They shift water and mud as well as giving extra grip in snow

And you can get them cheaper than £87.70 fitted
mine are £47.80 but only 15 inch

What car do you have you can down size the profile if you replace all 4

thanks Skippy, I don't really want to muck about with the profiles or width of my tyres. I have a Skoda Superb
Can you tell me where you buy your tyres?

Where I live its all hills and mostly narrow roads so need the extra assurance thats why I use them from October right through to around April

Never bothered with them, just drive a bit slower.
