Tyre help please
« on: 25 July 2012, 15:00 »
Need some help with tyres.  Just been to a few garages for quotes and I havent raelly heard of any of there mid range brand options.  Looking to spend upto £100 a tyre inc fitting on my golf running around 210bhp.

Can someone recommend the best options in that price range.  Prestivos are £140 for the pair fitted.  Dunlops £226 fitted at my local garage. 

tyre size 225/4018

I'm running falken 452's at the moment, in the dry they are excellent especially with the heat we've got at the moment. However in the wet they're pretty bad :undecided:
