Default Jap snow tyres

Folks,

my V3 STI RA has the lovely( ) Bridgestone snow/ice/sludge tyres on from import on the standard Subaru 16" wheels.

I know they're cack but how soon should I be looking to change them? I mean I suppose they must be ok in the current cold sh*tty climate

Im going to be getting some 18" gold Revolution milleniums ( ) in the summer so should I keep the 16's as winter wheels/tyres or get rid of the snow tyres asap?

Ta muchly

Mine had the so called "winter tyres" on when it was imported. It's not fun when an AWD car is constantly "stepping out" under acceleration at speed and you can't brake or corner. I don't know why they are legal in Japan....
I would change them as soon as possible if I were you, get a cheap set from mytyres, camskill, blackcircles, etc. to see you through until you can put the 18's on.

The Triumph will go up for sale in the New Year as well . I think the Blade will stay for a while.
Have you tried Martini Tyres off the Willenhall Road . Normally pretty cheap
