Clearing out the store of wheels and tyres I won't be using:
Set of 4 Marangoni Meteo HP 225/45-VR17 extra load winter tyres, marked with both M+S and Mountain/snowflake symbols. Made in Italy, not some cheap Chinese import. If you haven't heard of them, you might know their partner - Pirelli.
The tyres are excellent, both in condition and performance, all evenly worn with 6-7mm tread depth left, no damage. They were used on BMW 325 and 330 autos - I've driven on these very tyres down Holme Moss with several inches of snow covering the road, and not a single slip. That's in a rear-wheel drive automatic... And they are V-rated, so no worrying about whether they can handle the speed on a dry road.
They are however mounted on original BMW 3-series (E36/E46) alloys in truly appalling condition. No really, they are scabby beyond belief... But straight and true, so if anyone wants the 'free' alloys to have them refurbed as a winter set, they come at no extra cost
£160 the set. That's just £40 a tyre for the mathematically challenged
