Which tyres should I go for ?
Re: Which tyres should I go for ?

Re: Which tyres should I go for ?
Last time I changed mine I went for Nexen Roadian's all round on a friends recommendation and I've been pleasantly surprised. The're a budget brand (Korean I think) aren't star rated so won't be everyone's cup of tea, but aside from them being a bit noisier than my previous Toyo Proxes & Michelin Diamaris I have no complaints in either the wet or dry.

Re: Which tyres should I go for ?
Check out reviews and what not on tyretest.com and such like, but I went for Michelin Latitude Sport 3's. Grippy in wet and dry, quiet, and wearing well.
£750 for the set, but Michelin were doing a £100 free fuel card with their tyres at the time, so it was a no brainer! Yokohama on when I bought the car, and wasn't impressed with them, grip not that good, and noisy too. Seemed to last ok though. My sister has those Nexen things on hers and is pleased with them, but they don't get a good rap at all from the various reviews. Then again, she only does local mileage, whereas I drive the length and breadth of the country!

Re: Which tyres should I go for ?
I have Yoko's on my Winter set of 20" Wheels and I have Toyo Proxes on my 20" Summer set of Wheels.
I used to have Michelin Diamaris but found that the Toyo wore well and were half the price.

The best thing to do is grab a coffee sit down and so a search on the tyre posts that are already on here - there are lots - sit back and soak up the info

And then buy the Diamaris. They are the best option and most reasonably priced at the moment.

Re: Which tyres should I go for ?
Another vote for Toyo Proxes here.
Superb in wet and dry. Durability - I get 40,000 miles from a set! I got the vehicle @ 28k, now done 130k and only ever used the Toyo's.
I also believe excellent value @ ~£95 per tyre (I just got 2 x fronts for < £200 delivered).

Another vote for Toyo Proxes here. Had 4 fitted when I bought 20" wheels recently, so only done a few hundred miles on them, but impressed so far.

Toyo Proxes get my vote too. Great grip and much quieter than my previous Atturo AZ800 tyres.

Re: Which tyres should I go for ?
I currently have Diamaris all round.
My rears are approaching the legal limits.
I thought it was about time to change to something else like the latitude sport 3 since it has a better rating on noise & fuel (... on paper)
So I went into Costco yesterday asking for latitude sport 3 for my rears and was told they cant sell me 2 since my fronts were different.... it will have to be 4!
Is this their policy?
ps is online site blackcircles any good?
