Must be Juking

I took your advice and bought a Nissan Juke that I am very pleased with. I have been looking at winter tyres. Do I just buy tyres? You mentioned rims. Do I have to buy those as well? I found Mytyres people very unhelpful. They never answer the phone or reply to phone messages

This was typical of e-mails flooding in during December. By that time, due to two weeks of heavy snow, Mytyres was fantastically busy and UK stocks of Winter Tyres (based on last years demand) were running low. Now the winter is virtually over is actually a good time to get yourself set up with a spare set of wheels fitted with winter tyres for the next cold, snowy winter, though I can't guaranteed there will be one. A spare set of rims also avoids the need to change tyres on rims every November and March and the damage that may then be sustained to a rim or a tyre.
