Can I ask your advice as a newbie (soon to be) as we take possession of our Hymer and drive pretty much straight to the alps. The tyres need changing soon anyway - only from age not from any visible deterioration. We plan to spend two- three months in the year on snowy terrain (Alps Dolomites etc) probably two months in the UK touring including highlands etc and probably four month in hotter climes. This is my question;
Would you get mud / snow tyres permanently and accept that you may need to change tyres 5000 miles earlier due to softer rubber etc
Or would you get winter tyres and steel rims and summer tyres that you rotate?
Got an eye on safety as well as economy. Want to be as safe as possible.(obviously!)
(61 y o female driver never driven motor home any distance so far) can't share driving as hubby can't drive any more. Newly retired and off to live the dream.
Tips and thoughts very much appreciated.
