Been offered a set of four 19" Evoque wheels with 235/55/19 Continental cross contact winter tyres on at what I think is a good price. Question is, Can these tyres be used all year round with no problems? They are marked as winter on the side wall and not into swapping between summer and winter tyres at all. If anyone uses these any advice greatly appreciated. |

The tyres have only done around 2k so plenty of tread on. Was more concerned about dry weather use as to grip etc in the summer months ( if we get one of course! ) Just didn't want to buy them and then find i need a summer set as well |

You can use winters all year but they will wear quickly in summer. I have also found that in warmer dry weather, winters don't handle very well and upset the balance of the car.

I've been running on winters (Wintrax) for two months now and the temperature has only dropped below 7 degrees TWICE! I've noticed no problems with handling though. So far as far as I can tell the Wintrax are wearing less quickly than the standard all-season Pirellis. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I have had my winters on since the end of October, but I drove down to Devon for New year (500 miles round trip), but I puton my brand new summers (Continental UHPe) as it was warmer.
