What tyres to get??

quote;

changing the tyres on a seat should require 3 primary choices:

* the overall quality of the tyre (durability, wear, ratings, cost) desired for the seat
* the speed rating that a tyre for that seat should have depending upon the driver's average and occasional "fastest-driven" speed
* deciding if local and/or regional weather patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs. Wet road conditions

Id recommend Vredesteins, really really good tyres, especially in the wet which is good in this country!

£66 on camskill for your car, about a tenner to fit.

That's a good price.Pretty hard to source aren't they?.Don't think any fast fit places stock them,or the majority of the E Tyres type set ups. Never see them on anyone elses cars either.Shame really,i know how highly regarded they are.Wonder why they don't get in with the likes of National etc.

Think they are dutch, too busy schmowking!

Camskill stock them, and i got my local vauxhall garage to fit each of mine for a tenner.

I only do a max of 70mph.
Higher speeds are only achieved when i'm sure i won't get caught(on a test track honest).

Beat me too that. However, you can go 78mph without being procesecuted according to the police guidelines. Most of the time, 80mph on the motorway is generally accepted!

I do between 85-90. Never been caught

Long may your run of good luck continue.They'll get you in the end though.They always do.Especially when parked above motorway bridges and in lay bys.

Evening all,

My front tyres (205/45/16.....Michelen Pilot Primergy) are running a little low on tread and are in need of replacing over the coming weeks and would like some feedback on which brand to go for.

Must Have's - Good rim protection and all round grip.
Would Like's - Reasonable wear / reduced road noise.

I am not sure if the road noise currently experienced is due to low tread level as I understand it can increase with the wear of the tyre, haven't had the car that long so am still on the first set of these tyres.

So, what do people recommend at a budget, mid-range and premium level with the must have's listed above?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year

If you're strapped for cash.You won't go far wrong with Barum Bravuris.£49 each,fitted ,inc valve and balance.Made by Continental and good for about 20k(in the front).

I run up and down the Motorway nextwork in a black, BMW M5 with tints on some huge pimp tastic alloys.

Don't mind me...

Thanks all,

Ended up ordering a pair of Toyo TI-R's, hopefully will receive them early next week and have them fitted by next weekend.

Got a reasonable price at £120 delivered for the pair, just a nominal fitting charge to go

Thanks again
