Where did u get your tyres/wheels from mate??

Tyres from camskill and i bought the wheels brand new from ford (one of dealers on ebay)

cost me a fortune but im saving my summer tyres, they will last me 2 winters (3 months each year) and i should still be able to sell them on when i get rid of the car... so IMO i haven't lost anything..just an investment

They are really good though, extra rubber has made for a nice ride. only had them out on frosty and icy roads, no snow yet but im very impressed. probably get winter tyres on my next car

Ah i see... I'm tempted also, but need the funds...

ive got them on credit for 12 months, costing me about 30 a month, was better than paying it out in one go..

wheels and nuts were best part of £200 though

i was going to buy used ones, couldn't be bothered with the hassle.. one company was wanting about £150 for the 4 wheels new (not ford) so i just went for the ford ones. ford wanted £3 each for wheel nuts though, got these for £15 plus delivery from a 2007 car. Again i could have probably got these for alot less if i could be bothered going to a breakers

you will get the tyres cheaper in the summer..they go up a bit for winter..

Got a mid-range Karcher with an attachment from Poorboys and the I4D snowfoam, seems to work pretty decent.

Considering a citrus pre-wash foam now I think.....

I have been adding a drop of meguiars gold class shampoo to my snow foam, much better results IMO and im using a stronger mix for thicker foam. seems to lift the dirt really well, great for the winter

Nice tip for the megs in the mix for a better result I might try it....

How much foam soloution do you put in it the recommend one inch? Or a bit more?

to begin with i was using a 10% mix, which on my bottle is just under an inch. now im using an inch or just over of snow foam with a squirt of shampoo. dont know if its right or not but i get good results and most importantly i still have wax left on the car lol
