Hey guys smile.

My dad has just bought a new car (Mercedes C350 diesel estate) and as predicted, it is RUBBISH on any form of snow.

Can anyone recommend any winter tyres for it?

I've herd good things about the vredestein's but my knowledge of winter tyres is frankly pitiful.

Ta,

Doodles.

You're kidding, right? Do you have any idea how many threads and recommendations there have been on PH in the last few months?

There's a shortage of winter tyres at the moment. If you can get them, they will set you back an internal organ or two. It's better and cheaper just to learn to drive properly in these conditions. Get some snow chains / socks for the trickiest bits.

Herd? Herd of sheep under the wheels might do the job.

Vredestein's what?


Really, right now, it's a case of whatever you can get. Don't bet on getting any though.
