From the "other" forum, quote:
"They hadnt noticed it was sitting on winter tyres and so I was able to get a contribution from them towards a set of summers ;-)".
So it seems the winter tyres were not so nice to see to the new owner!

More than likely because in a few weeks they'll have to come off. Driving in the warmer weather on winter tyres is dreadful.
