What tyres?

Post by Franknstein » Tue Nov 26, 2013 10:09 am

Hi All

So last month it was a new battery now I need new front left tyre.
Decided to replace both the fronts (of course).

Which tyres are recommended? I saw Yokohama Advan I think for £285 for a pair of fronts 255/50/19.
Any reason why these wont be any good?
I do no offroading, once in a while drive on a muddy verge and then a bit of snow driving in the winter of course.
There is no way I am buying two sets of tyres, or winter tyres or whatever, just looking for a set of something that will last all year.

Any thoughts?

Yoko's are good tyres , I had them before both Summer & Winter tyres . However they are on the softer
side so good for handling , but if you really 'drive' they might wear more quickly than other makes .

Conti's are also a good middle of the road tyre , my current Summer tyres and the tyres I have on my B8 too .
