I have basically exactly the same as those. Bought them from eBay Germany, and they're completely unmarked OEM rotors and 4 brand new winter tyres
They make a big difference when the weather turns cold and I always fancied trying rotors on my car as I have vspokes too
The car rides much nicer on the softer tread of winter tyres as well, so mine get fitted in November and removed around the end of March

The only winters that I could get last year in 265/30/20 were the Contis. Despite various dealers claiming that they could get Pilot Alpins or Sotto Zeros in that size, none of them actually managed to do so when pressed so I settled with what was available.
The Contis are fine for the UK and the odd trip to the Alps but I'd want something better (and probably narrower) if I were living in the mountains all winter. As knobbly tyres go, they aren't particularly noisy and, as long as you aren't too lead-footed, they work OK on marginal dry/warm roads towards the end of the season.

Got winter wheels and tyres only problem is don't think got TPMS tyre sensors in them. How do you know if got them without taking tyre off .
And if not have them do anyone know how much for set is ? Or can I just run without sensors in. And will it be problem as other wheels have them in.
