Which tyre would you recommend with a budget of £90max?


I'd say you should spend as much as you can afford on tyres.
Go with a known brand and read reviews.

The Michelin PS4 above is all the tyre you'll ever need and very hard to beat.

I don't think you'll get any of the ones we are talking about here for 90 quid ?

Thats right even Blackcircles are £106 fitted

Has anyone noticed that a lot of high end motors from Porsche and MB use Pirelli p zero tyres yet they don't come out on top in any tyre tests.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

Porsche and other manufacturers do not tie themselves into one brand or type of tyre.

A Porsche Pirelli PZero may perform slightly different on a Porsche to a Golf or BMW, the Porsche Pzero are made to a Porsche spec such that the tyres have to conform to a Porsche N rating..... You cannot fit a non approved, non N rated to a Porsche and maintain the warranty!

I have driven a few 911 over the years with various Pirelli's fitted and although they are not first choice, they are certainly usable within road driving limits.
