Is Winter coming ?
Got a link to Pirelli ATRs at a decent price (thanks Stephen O) and totally forgot about it
Anyway, 2 weeks ago they were £144 a corner, last week they jumped to £167 each and now they’re over £173....Have tyre suppliers been reading the usual Daily Fail prediction of Biblical snow that gets predicted annually and never arrives ?

Now you’ve done it, you used the Winter word.
Now that’s gotta call for a gratuitous wheelie bin pic.

To be honest, I was very impressed with the Verde All-seasons (20’s) in the snow this Spring...I just fancied getting a set of ATRs on my spare set of 19’s, as they’ve been sitting doing nothing since I got shot of the Grabbers"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Same last year.
I bought a set this time last year and in the space of 10 days they jumped about the same amount. I was watching them at €136 by the time I bought they were €142 and they then rose to €155 by the end of September. When I got them fitted in November my local tyre depot looked them up and said €230 fitted.
