Depends what you can afford I guess, I don't really have the budget to spend on swapping tyres for the different seasons so I found one that seemed to be a good all rounder, the Eagle F1's seem to have good grip in the dry but also very good in the wet, not sure about snow/ice but when that time comes most driving is very cautious and slow anyway.

If I had the money to do so I'd probably buy winter tyres as they are obviously designed to work in low temperatures so must have an edge over your standard tyres.

Wipers and tyres fitted, my local place did a good job on fitting them and didn't butcher my wheels like many other places I've used.

I'll see how the new wiper blades go and report back :)

Bit early to say dude, only done a couple of miles on them but I'll be keen to see how they get on in the wet. I think my old tyres must have had little flat spots on them because I had a little bit of steering wobble even after balancing, but these are perfect.

Had nearly a week with the new wipers on and used them a few times although not in full on rain yet, mainly just to clear dirt from the screen but they are silent and do a great job of clearing the screen, I'll definitely buy the Michelins again and would recommend to anyone looking to replace theirs.

Gave the car a quick clean today because it was filthy from the commuting through the week

Everybody loves a snow foam picture ;)



Also thought I'd take a quick picture of the clean and rinse buckets to show just the difference and to show how necessary the two bucket method is if your serious about looking after your paint, bear in mind I've pre-washed first too so the worst of the surface dirt and grime was already gone, but you can still clearly see how dirty the water in the rinse bucket is compared to the shampoo bucket.

Thanks dude :)

Unfortunately not mate sorry, it comes with the diffuser and I had to replace all of the old one because of the state it was in, I don't think they are available separately either :(
