When to fit winter tyres.
Have a set on some new wheels ready to fit. Just keep putting it off due to the mild weather we are having at the mo.
Has anyone already fitted theirs yet? If not, when do you plan on fitting?

Probably towards the end of the month, temps should drop more by then, as long as temps are constantly below 11 deg c you should be ok running winter tyres

well last winter I put mine on around the end of october I believe, but this year has been very mild. However I never put the summer ones back on so had the winters on all sumer and are still on now but they are about 2mm tread alround so not much good really. I have a new set which I will put on as soon as I get the 16" wheels sorted, but if I still had summer tyres on I might wait for a few weeks until the cold kicks in.

Hi
We have supplied (and fitted) loads of winter tyres so far, customers have been getting theirs fitted since mid October. As someone above mentioned, winter tyres come into their own when the temp drops below 7 deg.
Thanks
Keith

I found my Nokian winter tyres more noticeabley needed 'scrubbing in' than any other tyre I've had fitted over all my years of driving.
Don't know if it is more Nokian specific as I never noticed it much when I fitted Hankook winters to my van. But the Hankooks replaced crap Ling Long's etc on the van whereas the Nokians replaced Avon ZZ3's, so were a step-down whereas the Hankooks were a step-up in performance..
