just a thought really as to what make of tyres are preferred i use goodyear nct 5's or uniroyal rallye 340's on my omega's all 4 matching replaced in sets of 4.
I seem to get good mileage out of them 10-15,000 and another 5,000 swapping front to rear the give good grip and are quite quiet on a cruise 225-55-16 and 225-55-17.

yup, everyone is going to have different driving styles, different sized wheels, commutes, road surfaces, way tooo many variables.
I have Falkins all round, 30k on still good, but just my opinion :y
-
Nah, will get some votes for sc3's. Not cheep though.

yep.. ;D
continentals, eagle f1 and potenzas are very good but not cheap..
medium price goodyear efficient grip ,excellence and
Bridgestone Turanza is also ok..
Toyos and Kumho can be cheap alternatives but dont expect the same performance..
and stay away from chinese brands they are a real pain..

Personally preferred the SC2s to the SC3s. Unsure what to get now my preferred Dunlop SP9000s are no longer available :(
-
Firestone Firehawk SZ80. Not exactly expensive, but excellent all-round tyre in the dry, and more than capable in the wet. Only criticism would be they are a tad noisy.

Not even trying. ;D
;)
I have just put some Kumho KU31s on the front of mine. Every bit as good as the SC3s I had on before IMHO, dry or wet, and much cheaper. Perhaps very slightly noisier. Remains to be seen how long they last though. ::)

912's lasted 11 or 12k in my possession although binned early due to appalling stability.
Tunnie it's the pedal on the right. ;)

Had two sets of F1's they were excellent especiallly in the wet - now on Toyo T1R's and they are as good but also seem a bit quieter :y

Had those on the Cavalier after my usual FireHawks were not obtainable for a few days. Hated them. Terrible grip in the wet. :'( Could be a completely different story on the Omega though :y

Well I found them to be a brilliant tyre :-? and will be getting some more without a doubt when the ones on the car are ready :y

Due to running on a shoestring (no job atm), I use whatever I can get at my local part worn seller... That said, I have found that Michelins, Uniroyal and Bridgestones do well in the premium brands.. And in the cheaper brands NangKang appear to last quite well too...

As previously stated, you will get loads of different replies to this question.
I run Accellera Alpha's all round. Top end of the budget tyre range and seem to be pretty good. I've had 7 now (as one was replaced due to a puncture) in over 50k miles. I find them reliable enough in all conditions and will take a lot of abuse before they let go and wear (obviously) very well. Perhaps a little noisier than more expensive brands but a compromise I'm willing to make.
I dare say that there are people who wouldn't like them but they suit me and my driving style :y
-
I had Goodyear F1's all round, now running Goodyear Excellence all round cheaper than F1's and seem just as good but much quieter
-
Everything but the price is excellent.
Continental Sport Contact 3's :y
-
Avon ZZ3 all round. great when wet :D
