Recently bought another set of wheels to use for winter but I'm not sure whether to get some winter or all season tyres for them.
I live on the east coast of Northern Ireland, relatively near the sea so I don't get huge amounts of snow in the winter, mostly rain and sleet so I'm sure if all-season's or winters would be better suited.
If I get all-season's I won't be running them year round as I'm going to use the current set of wheels I have on the car in the warmer months, probably March/April-October/November. depending on what the weather and temperatures are like, as I've read winter tyres are better than their summer equivalents under 7C.
My max budget would probably be around £75 per tyre in 225 45 R17 which would mean I can get something mid-range.
After reading numerous reviews, owner and professional ones, I have narrowed down to the following:
Winter:
Kleber Krisalp HP3
Nexen WInguard Sport 2
All season:
Nexen N'Blue 4 Season
Any opinions or recommendations on other tyres are welcome and whether ultimately whether I should go for winter or all season tyres.
