Jellybean Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My K10 Micra, under steer is comical in the wet and the traction in first and second. I drift the car around cornors!! She has plenty of thread there but I must look at the manufactures date, they may be on the car since new!! 1989 ha ha I wanted to wait till the around October before I get some winter tyres for her; If I put some on now would they function?. Lets face it, its not much of a summer anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Winter tyres are usually designed to work in temperatures below 7 degrees centigrade... if you use them in summer they'll wear out much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennK Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Winter tyres are usually on the market around August/September time - make sure they have 'M+S' stamped on them...and they're much better in the wet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 As said, they will work fine but they may be a little noisier and they will wear faster. I love them on cars in the winter though....even if it's just on wet roads as they make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
