Tyre problem!

[Morganic]

You’re probably better staring a new thread to get the answer. I’m sure someone will have the answer.

Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question but, if I am driving on the continent somewhere that it is mandatory to have winter tyres, does that mean that the spare must also be a winter tyre? I think i know the answer; it's the difference between buying four or five new tyres before we head to Austria for Christmas.

Yes.

Many thanks to all who responded. Have bitten the bullet and had 4 new tyres fitted! Hope I have better luck with these. Cali feels a lot better on the road as well!

Which tyres did you go for in the end?
We've just ordered some Bridgestone S001 xl to replace the Dunlops. Apparently the Dunlops have been through a bad phase and crack on the edges.
