Premium/Mid Range v Economy Tyres

[Blueskiesdz]

I’ll buy the same standard as I have before, I agree with all the replies. I just wanted to find out anyone’s experiences with these lower grade tyres. I’d read some reviews online and reviewers were saying they weren’t far off mid range tyres.

200 Bhp in sh!t rubber, bad idea

I'd not scrimp on tyres either but I have a friend who swears by vredestein ultrac vorti (I think that's what they're called).

I used to have some vredestein ultrac sessenta tyres on my old astra VXR and they were spot on as well.

I'd steer clear of things like landsail etc. though - I don't call them ditchfinders for nothing.

I once bought a set of sunny tyres. I was trading my old car in after it had it's MOT and needed a 'cheap' set of rubber to pass. They was worse in the wet than the near worn out dunlops that they replaced. It was the scariest 3 weeks of driving I've ever experienced, never again

If you do go mid-range, the Toyo Proxes Sports are pretty good. About £35 a corner cheaper than the P4S.

But last about 1/2 as long.

You can get some great deals on Blackcircles and Costco seem to have a good reputation too.

Probably true. They were put a month before I handed it back!

As soon as I saw the title I could've guessed the replies. 😂

PS4 is the only tyre you should be considering.

Goodyear Eagle F1s are also a solid option.

Tyres and brakes are two things you shouldn't skimp on , they are the only thing keeping you on the road at the end of the day.
