The new steels ive got for the Passat are 18x7.5. I'm looking to get some winter/snow tyres but will need to be low profile due to the drop. Ideally I want to get part worns, where do I start?

Local part worn guy? Ebay? With 7.5J rims you'll want 195 section as a minimum really

Check the age and depth of any part worn winters before buying them - both make an enormous difference to the grip they offer, much more so than "summer" tyres.
