    Question Snow

    Hi folks that time of year again! I woke up this morning to find it had been snowing last night so being the first time it has snowed since I bought my Vectra I was keen to take her for a spin!
    Got her out and she is very skippy! Ever year i fit winter tyres to the car was looking up mytyres.co.uk for my car and they are really expensive was wondering if i could change the size around a bit to make it cheaper??

    At the moment i have Goodyear NTC 5 all round which are 215/50/17

    could i fit other sizes to my sri alloys?

    Why would you change the tyres in the winter? NTC 5's aren't track day cut slicks so why bother.
