Vredestein wintrac 4xtreme tyres 235/60/18

Hardly used set of 4 winter tyres from wife's Volvo XC60 (now sold). Stored in barn and in great condition. No damage or repairs with 5 to 6mm of tread (new are about 8mm). £400.

Winter tyres are slowly being accepted in the UK, but when it's wet, icy, snowy and cold grip levels are so much better than normal tyres. Road noise reduces as well. Vredestein make the best (imho).

Kept in North Devon, but often travel to Oxon and London, so could deliver if on the way.

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey

Have a free "bump" from me.
I'm on my 2nd set of these WINTRAC's (on my Volvo xc70)

Soon after putting the 1st set on, I was in a steady (40mph) flow of traffic on the A9 in N Scotland. Well below freezing. Hard packed snow under the tyres. The car in front (people carrier) dabbed his brakes. and immediately lost control. I was able to brake, turn to avoid him, and keep 100% control. When I looked in my mirror it was like skittles in a bowling alley - cars of of control going everywhere.

I have absolutely no doubt that the INTRAC's saved me a bump that day, with lengthy delays and cold waiting around.

Always put them on around bonfire night and take them off in March/April (altho they are still on now... but removing soon)

The Wintrac's also wear well if you do leave them on in summer.

I have a trolleyjack and 2nd hand alloys - so a speedy swap for me... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Right weather is getting colder and wetter, so these might suit someone who has a SUV that takes an 18 inch wheel: Volvo XC60, 90, Kia, Jaguar Fpace, Mercedes GLC, Porsche Macan (if you have the 18 inch wheel then believe it or not these tyres should fit), some Land Rover Freelanders, etc.

Price dropped to £175 as well.

I have a thread in the wheel/tyre section, but just in case I have a set of 4 hardly used winter tyres that were taken off wifes Volvo XC60. 5.5-6mm treading remain. No repairs, no punctures or damage. More information in the original thread. Price is £175, which is less than 1 new one, which are as rare as hens teeth given to cold start to Europe at the moment.
