The Falken FK452 ar really good tyres for the price, search for them on here and they have a lot of praise.

Hankook EVO V12 get my vote, such a massively underated tyre.

Basically, Ebay sellers are just too expensive.

Prices above are for 2 tyres delivered, and a saving of about £20 on most of your choices.

Personally from your offered choices I'd go for Falkens. But if I was asked to offer my own recommendation then I'd go for either Uniroyal Rainsports or second choice these. Coincidentally, both my choices are out of stock on Camskill.

I agree i have just put these on...Great tyre

My father-in law is an accounts manager for ATS and can get me tyres for trade price. I will have to say, there's not much margin in tyres these days. The likes of Camskill and MyTyres are about as cheap as you'll get them. Fitting Centres make their price on valves etc and fitting these days (and are also selling tyre insurance as well I noticed!!)

Also the manufacturers are having to up there prices due to floods in Thailand apparently which wiped out most of the rubber trees, so a lot of places advertising prices may not actually have any stock, best to check that first!


P.S. I used to run the Hankook Ventus K104 tyres and they were great. They've been superseded now (Think the V12Evo is about the closest tread pattern)

My father in law owns a garage so he can get me trade prices. I think ill look into the hankooks and see what I can find, im also liking the looks of the Kuhmo's

I wouldn't be buying tyres by how they look. You might end up with another set of Mohawks.

When I said the way they look didnt exactly mean the way the tread design looks, they seem to get good reviews on a couple websites and the prices look good.

And for the record I am unable to find anyone who sells Mohawk tyres.

I currently run on avon zz3, would'nt reccomend them tho as only had bout 11 thousand on them!!! gutted. I guess u get what u pay for!!

 

[Viking]

I only managed 10k on Conti Sport 3s. I wouldn't recommend them. However, they're a good bit more than the price of Avons and the grip is comparable between the two, and I got 14k out of the last set of Avons.

I wouldn't rate tyres by the amount of miles they can manage either.

 

[Torred1771]

My father in law reccomends the toyos so I might lean in that direction depending on price

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 2 at the minute, awesome but very light at speed.
