Autoexpress tyre test.
« on: 11 September 2010, 14:28 »
Seems Continentals are best overall followed closely by Michelins. The former quieter too.
Bridgestones not too good and very noisy. Said so many posts ago.

Michelins seem more suited to the Mk6 Asker, PS3's will be my next tyre's!!

Continentals have also won the Which? tyre test.

Anyway, neither the Continentals nor Michelins have got the excellent rim protection of the Bridgestones.

Michellins have the rim protection.

It's completely useless, touched a rim on Thursday  :sick:

Hardly even hit the kerb, just a very slight touch..

I know Michelins do, but as I clearly said and suggested earlier, not as good as the Bridgestones.
I have compared the two very carefully. There have been 3 instances when I have rubbed a kerb and the Bridgestone's rim protection was most welcome and effective. :smiley:

I only wish they did'nt produce so much noise. :angry: :sick:
