What's does the law demand where you live and where you might go? That's half your answer right there. I put Michelin Crossclimates on mine as, in happier times, I travel to Scotland and the Alps fairly frequently - they have the little mountain peaks symbol on them so are legal in all alpine areas ...

Err.... yeah

Sorry, optimistic typo

200mb - good enough if not streaming from Spotify or updating every map going.

I can't see the catch - will report back when I've found it (or not)

I suspect the R Design with 18" wheels is the sweet spot, although I acknowledge some might not like the aesthetics. On the plus side you'll have less chance of kerbing those pricey alloys.

I recall reading something years back that every heated windscreen installed meant royalty payments to Ford, as they own the...

Yeah, tyres are always about compromise and often simply down to preferences. I have another car that is primarily on the drive for warm dry conditions and it's done 655 miles between MOTs 😕(admittedly during lockdown too). I feel comfortable with the Crossclimates, on a 2 tonne car in whatever weat...

Denim Blue is a great colour and was my pick, and then they said "not available on the R Design". Couldn't choose the Inscription due to an allergy to chrome caused by the memory all my dad's cars. It has a deep psychological effect on me; buying a Volvo was bad enough as I'm convinced I'm...

Mine came with Michelin Primacy 4 (235/55 R18).

I found the Primacy 4 a bit understeery in the wet at the recommended pressure...
