I have managed to source some Skoda Superb 16" steel wheels and I intend to have some winter tyres fitted to them.

The guy at the garage assured me that I would be OK fitting them, I currently have 18" alloys, apart from it potentially looking pants should it be OK?

My worst fears have been realised today, we have around 2" of snow and I was slipping and sliding up the street tonight, no control at all and I fear for a severe change in the weather. I have a front wheel drive automatic and have turned off the ESP and knocked in to manual, still terrible.
