+1 for winter tyres, also I do not have a set for S8 as I don't do enough mileage on it. But on daily driver A6 put winter tyres on about a month ago, instant improvement in cold,wet and greasy conditions. On the everyday route to and from work couple of roundabouts were summer tyres on these conditions would let grip quite easily I can go quite a bit faster without loosing grip.

Winter tyres will be something I'll have to calculate then.
I'll need alloys and tyres.
Doubt that will be possibly this close to the date we are planning.

I'll keep my eyes open.


Thanks lads.

Thanks for the information all.
We've decided not to go.

We got an invitation to my mates wedding in Minnesota.
We don't have enough holiday to do Scotland and Minnesota, so we've decided on Minnesota over Scotland.
