Mine are 215-60-R16 Blizzard winter tyres, on 2wd V6, they have been brilliant over last 2 winters.

Yo hommie where you hang da chrommies out da way of salt?
do you lock em in a vault? treat em like a queen four times the dream
Are they coated for the dark daze, devoted till the first rays of sun, a tub of Vaseline
made redundant, like what happened to the lost ark of the covenant in dat raiders film
Now you's runnin the green on sixteens do you treat em bad like a lad doin doughnuts in a Tesco car park
is it off the mark to suggest you mark on a winter tread, or am i off da thread?

Peace.

Stan.

Yes 215/60-16's are spot on and well over the minimum load index required at a reasonable price.

We've got salt and they've even mixed it with molasses, so it sticks to the car better :roll: #-o
