Keep them all! One set with winters, one set with normal tyres. There's bound to be someone who'll like to buy that when the time comes....

I'm not intending driving it in the winter next year. If I don't sell the 205 I have its going back on the road in the winter and the xantia into a lock up. If I have sold the 205 then the xantia will stay taxed but not be used in poor conditions, that will be 107 territory. There's a chance that someone is interested in the 205 just now though

I only need 4, hence why I could be persuaded to sell 4[emoji4]

I've got 3 (I think) Xantia steel wheels.

I haven't owned a Xantia for >2 years

I may be prepared to sell you 4 activa alloys with two nearly new Nexen tyres and two very good pirellis.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not interested - I already have a spare set of Series 2 alloys that were bought for winter tyres but if the winters stay as mild as the last couple have been then I will probably not use them to be honest.

I'm also not interested in any second hand tyres - I've not had good experiences with old and second hand tyres so I won't be fitting anything other than brand new this time. Most likely a nice set of Michelin Energies.

Are they mk1 or mk2 alloys?

Difference in Activa wheels is that S1 wheels have removable centres and S2 wheels are centreless..
