OK, torrents across the M25 due to non-maintenance are probably not their forte and snow is sooo right out.
Longevity will be a problem, or not, depending how you look at it.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and thoughts.
Part of the reason for looking at a new tyre/wheel package was due to the fact that I am going to need fairly soon 2 new rears anyway...which made me think about a change for all 4 to something different rather than just like for like....looks like its going to be an expensive couple of months.....

Mine had a thinned area, with a very small hole just starting. I healed the thinned area with a small patch of flexible black silicon sealant, and then covered that with sticky felt. Worked very well. Do you want pictures? Only works before breakthough or a very small hole - don't want the sealant to find its way through.

Have been looking at replacement roof's on ebay - do breakers really think that £500 odd for a second hand roof without fitting is the right price?
Monsoon will supply a brand new one with all wiring for a shade under £550 - fitted for £798.
Yet breakers seem to think that a secondhand roof with no provenance and obvious wear is worth £579

you guys need to try camskill.co.uk ... full set of falkens = £300 and got them fitted for a galaxy bar and £30
In my view get the wheels/tyres, patch the roof.

They're a bit slidey cold (sound familiar?) but they are staggering in the dry and very good in the wet.
But they did go from hero to zero in snow.

for all 4 as follows:
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08
2 x 225/50 R16 V (92 ) £285.00
2 x 205/55 R16 V (91 ) £220.22
You have not selected a fitting centre.
Order Total:£505.22
Whether they actually have them in stock might be a different matter.

So that'll be £285 + £196 = £481

I think I'm going to go for Toyos next set. Reason being that I've never liked the handling balance on 225s (Eagle F1s at the moment) since the S02s were discontinued.
I ran Eagle F1 GSD2s on the 245 size when I first had the car and it handled fine.
On the 225s I just think the grip balance front to rear isn't quite right.
