Re: winter tyres
Might be worth stating what size tyres your after mate, obviously this will affect the price substantially, I should know as I have 19 inch alloys!

Re: winter tyres
Just fitted a set of budget winter tyres, removed the OE set of 19 inch Dunlops at 20700 miles and 3 years old.
Been experiencing a lot of road noise recently, especially on the rougher tarmac surfaces, this seems to have cured this.
The rear Dunlops still have 4 mm of tread, but fronts have gone.
Been a Golf man for many years, but love the Rocco.
Need to update the sat nav, is this a main dealer job?

Re: winter tyres
The main dealers offer this as a option. You get some discs to update the firmware and costs around £179.nippyjo wrote:Just fitted a set of budget winter tyres, removed the OE set of 19 inch Dunlops at 20700 miles and 3 years old.

Re: winter tyres
you can have a look around this website for an idea;

with our short winter, i think medium brands are enough. no Chinese cheap one and no need for the premiums ones unless you are going to spend time in Scandinavia.
Falken and such like ,should be enough.

Re: winter tyres
Just bought a set of Bridgestone LM-32s 225 40 R18, and they are really good acceptable Price and low noise from the tires.
