Frankfurt the last 3 days
Really surprised at the number of Mercs with steel wheels i saw when in Frankfurt - i thought they only did alloys - also some of the wheel arches on the beige merc taxis where a sight to behold - probably an MOT fail here.

They've all got their winter tyres on. I was told by the guy I bought my ZT from (who was Polish and had driven the ZT to Poland and back through Germany) that because the rules on having winter tyres are so strict in Germany, people fit them with steel wheels so the police can see that they've got them on and don't stop them to check! It's obviously also cheaper than forking out for a full set of extra alloys.

Actually, it is common for tire businesses to offer storage for the set you are not using for a small flat rate charge when they do the spring and fall changes for you.

I had a vw Passat in Slovakia in October and the hire company had already put on winter rubber... the friends we were visiting all had steels with winter tyres in their garages..
