I'm leaning on having 2 sets of tyres then. The other half will be happy to have 4 wheels 8n the corner of the bedroom 
the seat covers are just to preserve the seats, I'm trying to do as much as I can to protect the originality of the car

Personally I don't see the point of anything other than "summer" tyres. Why have inferior grip for the 99.9% of time you're not driving in snow. Decent summer tyres will still give you the best grip when it's 6C and raining.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or 5, Goodyear Eagle F1, ContiSportContact 5 are all good.
Well I'm going to need 4 tyres. Just checked mine and they are 11-12 years old. Do it's lucky I asked. As it would have failed it's mot

Problem i have is that the car is sorn, and has its mot at the end of the.month. and black circles doesn't have a mobile fitter that I can book. So I'm getting these. Ehat do you think?
Exactly this or Goodyear Eagle F1s, i only ever run these two tires on any of my cars.

I feel your pain. I still have £400 on the credit card from January. Had 4x Michelin PS5s fitted, but got £70 off and a £50 Amazon voucher.
This was at ATS (owned by Michelin). Normally I hate chains, but amazingly the slow loss of air I used to get on the rear left has been solved. I've been living with it for 5 years and had umpteen places refit various tyres on that corner with no success. ATS seem to use proper white tyre paste which has finally sealed it (took a lot of scrubbing to get it off the alloys).
Michelin Tigre is the stuff going off a Google search.

Yeah, halfords had a 20% discount for 4 tyres. So it could have been worse
Agree with what everyone else said. I've had PS4's and Goodyear F1 AS6 in recent years, both great in the summer and in the wet. Performance drops off when temps get cold, but still very driveable even then. I keep them on all year round.
Just had 2 new front tyres fitted through black circles, Bridgestones to replace the Michelin PS5’s - will see how these fair

At least with my new tyres, when the fronts lose toi much tread. I can just buy 2, and put the rears on the front. Which I presume you have done
The problem with that is that you're always driving with a period of uneven treads. And you have to make twice as many visits to the tyre shop.
It's easier to just buy 4 every time and chuck the half worn ones away.
You're only rotating tyres so that you can reminisce on your death bed how you saved £1000 on rubber over your lifetime

Wow talk about right place at the right time, don't blame you i would have done same, spent as you say years of constant looking to get the 1.18 scale, defo worth the wait.
Well when I have to buy new rubber I'll either go for pilot sport 4s or the Kumho Ecsta PS71, kumho do good tyres think people forget about kumho reputation.
Well today's jobs give a clean inside better will be done when weather's warmer, also changed the pre cat lambda( needed it as was blackish) not too bad of a job look like wolverine used my hands as a scratching post lol, and a carbon bonnet strut to match engine bay, much more to get done but it's a start.

Uneven treads? If we were talking cross axle sure, but front to rear? Not a problem.
And you don't do twice the number of trips, you extend time between trips as you replace all four when they're all worn.
