My wife's 4motion has 17" Santa Monicas with Eagle F1 tyres. We guessed that they would be fairly poor in snow and ice given the low profile , width and pattern of the tire but nothing has prepared her for just how bad they are. She seems to spend most of her time sliding down hills with no control despite being in the correct gear and having abs. I've been in the car with her and it's nothing to do with her driving style.
I'm going to buy another set of alloys with winter tyres. I know ideally they should be thin and high profile so what do people think? Should I get a second hand set of Mkiv gti 15"s which seem fairly cheap on ebay at the moment or just get some 15" steels?
Or should I just get some Santa replicas with snow tyres on?
