I'm looking for my winter tyres and wondered if anyone has had any experience of 19's Vredestein on their R ? There's a few threads about winter or not or all weather so this is not another on that subject, I am defo a fan and need them having used them on my last 6/7 cars. What I like to do is keep the same size and if poss speed rating so has not to involve the insurance company but obviously I don't intend doing 155mph on them. So I used Vredestein's on my A-class Merc grip in wet / snow fantastic BUT last year towards the end of the season I got eggs on 2 seperate tyres, because of this I decided not to use them this year but now I've got the R they do seem to be the only fitment available so I might have to. Or can anyone recommend any other makes WINTER only in the R fitment 235 35 R19 ?

Hi, My R Estate arrives this Thursday and while we are still in the middle of a cold snap I've been looking into tyres that will perform well in these conditions. After a bit of back and forth I realise the main challenge is that 98% of the time it's just bloody freezing in the winter, and then 1% of the time we get ice, sometimes (rarely down here in the South West) we might get snow for the other 1%. Coupled with the beginning of winter and the end being somewhere between 3c and 9c, it strikes me that these Michelin Cross Climate + might be the best "winter" tyre that I can fit before it goes too gloomy and cold and still have perhaps 80% of the "summer time grip" until it goes properly bitter and the same for coming out the other side before I refit summer tyres. Does anyone have any experience of these on their R? I'm actually deaf, though not completely but this also makes me quite sensitive to road noise as well, so any feedback on this would be appreciated. This would be 18" only.
