New Tyres times what did you choose ?

[heliliam]

So after doing around 30K my two front tyres need replacing.

But the question is do I stick with the stock conti contact sport 5's or are there any better cheaper alternatives ?

I am not wanting to put cheap rubbish Tyres on but if i can not spend lots and save bit that would be great.

So what have you replaced your tyres with ?

My car is the 1.4 fr with the 18inch alloys

Ps I do a lot of motor way miles but do like to have a bit of fun in it

 

[stu_m]

in that 30k have you had any problems with the tyres?

if not the stick with them

sure there is better tyres out there but if you arent reaching the limit and haven't had any problems then why change

Nope no issues at all, I was just interested in there where any other makes that offered batter performance or the same performance for the same price or less

I swapped Conti CS5 for Michelin PS3 on my last change, really happy with the Michelin, but can't say that Conti's were bad...

I have Goodyear Eagle F1 asycemetric 2's on my car. They are great and better than the standard Pirelli which Seat had put on it originally.

There are lots of good reviews about the Goodyear's and lots of complaints about Pirelli.

If you look at ratings i think the goodyears and dunlops are the better ones and the bridgestones which is fitted to mine the worst, but they seem ok!

Would be interested to compare with the Goodyears and / or Dunlops against the Bridgestones

Just had a look and found the good years for around 85 pound.

Thanks, I was going to buy some winter tyers for the coming weeks but I can't afford both sets so hopefully with the a rating they will be good

30K? You must drive gently!

 

[C_ED_99]

Any of the suggestions sound good, Eagle F1 2 assy are a good price right now as the F1 3 assy are about to come out, then again so is the Conti SC 6.

Tyre reviews have links to a number of other reviews - but this deals specifically with 225/40 R18

Not half, who recons he has swopped front n back around at 10,000 miles
now all four are all equally worn?
Does anyone bother to do this ?

My Michys are nearly at 11k & id say i might get another 5000miles from the fronts
and i dont thrash them far from it.

Bridgestones oem on my mk1 fronts only did 14,500miles Rears 22,000

maybes its just the lack of torque from the 1.4 petrol that might save the front tyres a fair bit
but ? eitherway id stick with same rep if there doing that mileage.

BUT! when rep OEM with same types id put money on them never lasting as long..

Best tyres by far. Simple.

Yep - always have.
Especially if the intention is to change the brand of tyre when they are done.
