what size tyres do you need?
225x16x60 or what?

[Cumbria]

225x55x16

[ngrainqey]

225x55x16

have you tried camskill or blackcircles?
(you can find them on google) usually cheaper and dont have crap tyres, just decent but cheap or very good and expensive but have stuff between too if that makes sense (thought it was worth a go)

Budget tyre. Made in Korea by Nexen

[serek]

try on www.mytyres.co.uk or ebay some times can buy on good prices

[ngrainqey]

nexen arnt that bad just cheap ...depending on how expensive/cheap and also depending on the rubber and tread pattern, some tires are better or worse in the wet but hardly any noticeable difference in the dry.depends what sort of driving, if it's just a tyre just to do miles of trogging about, aslong as your not going to go mad and expect the tyres to be upto the same quality as goodyear for example then they'll be fine

Hard tread. Useless in the wet

[cem_devecioglu]

The tires are critic components and shops know this very well

So only you got what you pay.. Very rarely I see bargain tires..

my idea is its worth stressing the budget for tires instead of buying

twice (like me )..

Just had a look on blackcircles £53.64 for blackcircles.com value choice

'mytyres.co.uk' are currently selling 225/55/16 - Kenda KR19 tyres (never heard of them) for £46.10. Most importantly the 'test results' which covers 10 items ie "grip in the wet"is very, very good. The total score is far better than - Michelin Pilot Primacy £153.00, Bridgestone ER300 £110.00, Dunlop SP Sport 9000 £96.00 plus others. Have a look on the mytyres site.

Kenda dont seem to have good performance... :-/

[ngrainqey]

lol depends what you want really... iv mentioned in my previous posts that the difference was the grip in the wet so was something to bare in mind sort of thing.
if you plan on hammering your tyres and arnt bothered about spending major money then cheapo tyres are ok for abusing lol

[Cumbria]

If i was doing a lot of motorway miles i would spend the extra money. But most driving around town so not getting thrashed
