Hi
Im driving a C250 Sport and after last year am dreading winter. Although I love my car, its horrific in the snow, slush, ice. I ended up filling the boot with water barrels to try to get traction, but still got stuck everywhere!
Anyway, not I have moved jobs out to the country, where winter is going to be much worse. My rear tyres desperately need changing but knowing that new Conti Sports are going to be just as bad as bald ones! So im spending the money on new useless tyres anyway, am i not better holding off on the normal tyres and getting snow tyres for now?
What I need to know is:
Will they make much difference?
Can I change the wheel size (from 17s)?
Can I put just two rears on or will this reak havock on the half tread tires at the front?
How expensive is it going to be?
Am I better to fit 4x steels and just have it looking a bit crap over winter?
Any help appreciated and sooner rather than later, need new tyres by next week.
thanks
