Mr Barton. I would expect nothing but the best tyres to be on your car, your driving style would demand it :lol:

I'm on my 3 set of contis on the front , 2 on the back . It's just I'm only keeping the car another 6 months .

Bah. Tires are tires. I had 8 year old studded tires and they were still not that bad to drive. In my everyday normal driving i have never noticed tires would be bad no matter how cheap or worn out they are.

It could be that my average daily drive is a little different to your . I definitely notice when they tyres are getting very worn - particularly in the wet .

I drive a lot on snow and ice as it's that over here for many months a year and it's very easy to drive on ice or even 10-15cm snow with whatever tires you've got as long as you don't pretend you are driving on summer asphalt and think nothing can stop you just because you've got a pair of decent tires.

80% is how you drive and 20% is down to the tires i would say.

Was driving in Stockholm last winter for weeks in snowstorms and a lot of snow. Driving a near empty RWD Toyota Hiace van with old and bad studded tires it was fun going past the gentlemen in their big 4WD BMW X5's desperately trying to get somewhere.

I have to be absolutely honest and say that I don't have much faith at all in the contis on wet roads. They aren't the grippiest when the roads are a little slick. :thumbdown:

Why do my tyres go bald on the inside but not as much on the outside edge . I'm on canvass on the inside and just about legal on the outer edge ?

Inflated too hard - what psi are you running them on? I 'think' they should be 34 all round (on the HDi at least).
