Just bought a 2004 Berlingo Multispace 1.9D.
Want some new tyres that aren't full blown Winter tyres where you have to change them come April time but grip better in the snow / ice than normal ones, do they exist or is it just normal or Winter tyre choice etc?
You get all season tyres, they're less extreme than pure winter tyres so you can use them all year round but the payoff is that they're not quite so good in snow and ice.
I've got winter tyres fitted to mine and as I won't be doing a huge mileage I'll be leaving them on all year. They're a little noisy at speed though.
As for fitting budget tyres I won't even consider it. You may not be the fastest driver in the world but you may still need to stop extremely quickly in poor conditions and that's where cheaper tyres are typically poor.There are exeptions but they're rare.
