Hi Ainars! If I'd been more on the ball I'd have had that tyre off you a while ago, when we traded alloys probably.
Turns out that the spare wheel on the S8 I bought earlier this year was actually fitted with a winter tyre, but I didn't notice for quite a while.
So I actually went and bought a part-worn summer tyre on eBay a while back.

I have in fact only very recently finished cleaning up and refurbishing those wheels I got from you and fitting winter tyres, but they're now all 5 sitting "ready to go" later in the year.
