Where can I get Platinum Plus DPF additive?

A few weeks ago a reader recommended Platinum Plus treatment for DPF problems. I am unable to locate a supplier of this product. Can you please let me know the details of where I could purchase this product. Secondly, I am shortly replacing all tyres on my Audi A3 to winter tyres. Can I run the car all year round on these tyres?

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
