**I HAVE NOW ORDERED MY WINTER TYRES FOR THE REPLACEMENT CAR, SO WOULD LIKE THESE TO GO**

Evening all,
 
As Ebay robs you blind these days, I am looking for better ways to move my winter wheels on without encouraging their paypal /listing / final value fees!
 
I have a mint set of Winter wheels from my 2012 Berlingo. I have since moved the van on to another member of staff and bought an Octavia vRS estate, so I am looking to fund a set of 225/45 17 Winters for this - so there is my genuine reason for sale.
 
These are genuine Berlingo steel wheels that I purchased. 2 of the tyres are brand new Goodyear UltraGrip 8 (95T) and the other 2 are Goodyear UltraGrip 9 (95T) with approx 1500  motorway miles on them. I look after my cars and the tyres have never seen a kerb and always ran on the optimum tyre pressures.
 
There are a couple of minor marks on the rims where the wheel trims have been pushed on. Perfectly balanced, no wobbles, drive great. I decided to  try winter wheels on the van after experiencing how awful it was in the snow with the standard Michelin Eco tyres it came with. Living in the hills of Halifax at the time, the van could hardly get going, and when you did get it moving, it then couldn't stop! Coming from the previous generation Berlingo (which was amazing in the snow), this was a bit of a shock! The winters cured this, completely!
 
For those who haven't tried winter tyres, the best way to describe these is - grip like driving in summer, during winter! They are designed to work when the temperatures dip below 8 degrees. They shift water amazingly well and grip in all conditions! They are the most impressive tyre I have experienced for the job they do. Even in the snow, they grip, set-off and stop amazingly well - something i didn't think possible from a mere tyre change. 
 
These are NOT your average cheap and cheerful winter tyre. They work in all weather conditions and will not let you down. I always like my Goodyear tyres and these did not disappoint. 
 
I need to free up the space in the garage as i currently have a spare set for my Alfa, Skoda and a van i no longer drive.....so hopefully someone on here is in the market and can make use of them.
 
I can take these to my work in Dewsbury if this help. Postage is an option, but subject to additional costs.
 
Cash on collection preferred.
 
Any questions, please just ask. Many thanks for looking.
 
£200

Dang! If you could pump them up a bit so that they become 16" instead of 15". I would have them like a shot.

I'm a great believer in winter tyres - I have a spare set of winter shod wheels for both my other vehicles, and am currently looking for a good 16" set for my Multispace.

The season will beat me unless I act quickly!

Good advert. . . good pictures . . .

But . . . What size are the tyres / wheels that you are selling !

[robertoc]

JJ9- the clue is in the Subject title, my friend

[jj9]

Ooops, I missed that   .... how could I miss that, are you sure you haven't edited the title   

I got caught up reading your post with all the info about the tyres and then though there's no mention of the size...

I'll get off to specsavers

Trust me, it was the first text I typed, haha.
Cheers.

Well the lamp oil must have been running a bit low last night then  


On a serious note, like you say winter tyres do make a massive difference to grip, hadn't really ever experienced them until we got a car with a set on, it would go anywhere in the snow we had a few years back.

They impressed me so much that I've bought a set of 17s for the Octavia, to do exactly the same thing with.

They are also pretty impressive in muddy camping fields!

The big drawback with winter tyres is that sooner or later you get stuck behind the macho driver who thinks that fitting them would turn him into a wimp!
