Hi Senwar,

Prices in the UK are for my tyre size 225 50 R17

Its the Michelin Pilot Alpins @ £190.

They are a wee bit pricey, mainly because you have to stick to runflats (if you have ordered this option with the car) Non-runflats are £50 cheaper.

To make life easier I would also suggest you get them on separate rims. Steel rims are fine if you want to do some offroading in winter which would right off a set of alloys. Snow chains are not good for alloys!

There are some others available as well, eg

Goodyear Eagle Ultragrip @£146
Bridgestone Blizzak @£170
Dunlop SP Wintersport @£150

Hope this helps
