Are Vredestein still a decent brand? Need 155R13 80 tyres.

Need two new tyres: 155R13 80 79T.

Opinions?

Mk1 Golf.

Price no issue really, nothing else to say!

Thinking two Vredestein QUATRAC 2s @ £110 fitted at mytyres.co.uk

Edit: Bah wrong forum.

since those size of tyres are cheap anyway, you could get Michelin Energys or Conti Ecocontacts for pretty much the same price as those Vredsteins you spoke of.

Found ecocontacts for £10 less each than the QUATRAC 2s.

Are the Vredestein's actually £10 better? :/

Edit: Phoned the garage I went to last time, did a deal on two P3000s and alignment so we'll see how they are then!

Could you not just get them off of camskill http://www.camskill.co.uk/m73b0s359...es_-_13_inch_R13_inch_-_155_80_13_155_80_R_13 and get them fitted elsewhere?

Hah.

Oh well, never mind.

Two decent P3000 tyres + laser alignment for £100 all in, so I haven't done badly really.

Problem is there are no actual performance tests for my (or even close to) my tyre size, so it's all based on personal opinion.

I think once your paying for premium brands a few quid is probably neither here nor there.
