£1200+ is stupid money IMO
Get the tyres from
oponeo.co.uk (cheapest by far that I have found and delivered 36hrs after they were ordered!)
Then get genuine Audi alloys from eBay, there is no reason why you need to spend anywhere near a grand, let alone £1,200+ for new Audi alloys fitted with new good quality winter tyres.
I have been using them for the last two years and can highly recommend Nokian WR G2âs and WR A3âs, they are premium brand tyre at budget brand prices.
I would not go through a winter again by choice without them, they are for the whole winter not just the few days we get snow (then they are almost unstoppable)
As for not using winter tyres just because others are going to slid into you, well how pathetic! drive sensibly and with enough of a gap between yourself and the car in front and most accidents can be avoided, the difference is with winter tyres fitted you will be able to control your car providing you are driving sensibly.
