Winter tires in Summer Size: is it legal even if not in CoC
Discussion
Hi all,
I have been searching for this forever but couldnt find the answer. I have a Mini. The car comes originally with 18' with summer tires. I have also winter tires in 17, which make the car look much worse (being nice...).
My CoC (or car manual) mentions that winter tires should be sized 16 or 17, not 18. I wonder, however, whether it would be legal, in this land of strictness, to have 18'' with winter tires in the same size as the summer tires...? I appreciate it wont be as good in snow but the car wont see that much of it and I am a sucker for the looks...
Thanks in advance!
