The Vredestein Wintrac 4 Extremes currently fitted on my RRS are marked M+S as well as the correct winter tyre logo (snowflake). Or are you only interested in second hand tyres?


My local stealer happily have offered me 4 winter wheels at a buddy price of £2650 plus mounting on the car...

... sooo.... I was thinking perhaps I could find some cheaper wheels with M+S / Winter tires in the UK... Still looking! Big Cry

So I am looking either for second hand 19" rims I can put new tires on or a set of 19" wheels with 255/50 19" winter tires... RRS 2010 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

I picked up a set of 19inch rims from ebay for £450, sold the tyres off them for £150 and put new Wintracs on for £800 fitted. So £1100 all in.

Ebay is the place to look for rims - this forum is a bit limited compared to Ebay.

For example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-RANGE-ROVER-S...%26ps%3D54 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I just got four nice alloys (19") and almost new Vreidstein M&S for £750 off e-bay. Put them on yesterday and they do drive bett Rolling Eyes er than the Goodyears on my standard wheels. Weather has promptly changed from a bit chilly to warm monsoon rain though.

In most european countrys where winter tyres are required ,they must have the snow flake on them as well as M&S letters to be legal. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.
