225/45 R17 low profiles for the A3.
It was interesting on Wednesday when it was icy realising I still had the summer slicks on

Re: 4 new tyres for the cage - eek!
I always use "www.tyre-shopper.co.uk"
Saves me a fortune. You choose the tyre you want, book the time slot at National Tyres, pay online and just turn up. I just checked, you can get Conti Sport Contacts for £107 each fitted. My car has Avon ZZ3's wich I paid the huge sum of £89 each. The fitter showed me their system which quoted over £140 each for a drive-in customer. Pete
