I've got some Uniroyal SnowMax 2 185 80x14C
Admittedly still in the shed and no sign of needing them at the moment...
Got them from oponeo.co.uk and fitted locally.

Re: Winter tyres
Yep, mine are made by Kumho, 185R14C fitted to a spare set of steelies that some kind person on this forum gave me
Mine were second hand, and fitted/ balanced by my local tyre place.

Re: Winter tyres
If you get them from Black Circles, you can go to a local garage and have them fitted.

Re: Winter tyres
Oponeo are also worth looking at. Again mail-order the tyres and get a local garage to fit - if you have a trusted garage then get the tyres delivered directly to them.

Re: Winter tyres
What do you reckon for mileage? Not asking about how many thou miles but good, average or crap?
Are we going on anything else?
