Dropped me Mum's Astra G in for MOT
passed with no advisories 
though I advise myself to take it on a warmer day next year 

Had my Omega's traction control light flash at me a few times too this morning

Hoping the snow acts a bit like snow foam, and removes all that Cornish dirt.

Winter tyres

The Barge sticks like the proverbial pop to a blanket.

Cleared some of my crap out of it ready to look at a potential replacement tomorrow.

And retighted an exhaust bracket to silence the last of a rattle so it doesn't sound like the cats are about to fall apart... (they aren't. Yet).

I'm looking into winter tyres 
got Mrs builder steel wheels with  Bridgestone Blizzark Winter tyres
I have enough 7J steel 15" wheels to put some on ,
but do I go 195/65/15 or buy another set of 16" wheels and match the 225/55/16 size
or just get some summer/winter type tyres as the ice age is now  over 

[Doctor Gollum]

I went with Goodyear Vector All Season. (225/70/16 XL)

-1° isn't much of a test, but no complaints thus far.

Winter tyre thread !  Wheres Cem when we need him ? 

[Raeturbo]

Found a broken vacuum pipe needed a t piece for testing didn’t have one whilst I was out but what I did have in the car was a cannula from my mothers oxygen,, needless to say mum had a breathless ride on the way home😂. (Joking of course)..but the spare cannula did work

[dave the builder]

what BOOST does your Mum run Rae 

[Doctor Gollum]

Much more that half a Bar might cause bubbles

[Raeturbo]

She normally runs at 4ltrs an hour, 

[Rangie]

Driven the RRS to Ninfield ( near Bexhill) and back 334 miles round trip in total comfort ,only the Omega came anywhere near as comfortable.

                  I would go for the smaller 15 inch 195 65s they will be better for the snow

Thanks for your input Rae 
I've heard a few people say similar
plus side to that is I have 15" wheels already ,so could just get winter tyres fitted to those

[Raeturbo]

Indeed that’s what I’ve got ready for the Evo and the Astra should I need them
