Tyre recommendation

[Abyss]

It's time to replace the tyres on my fianceés car (Volvo S60 D5)

Current tyres are 225/45/17 91W, and looking online in the handbook and online this is the recommended size/speed/load for the car.

Options I have found are:

Goodyear Tyres / Car / Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 225/45 R17 91Y FP TL
£78.25

Continental Tyres / Car / Continental ContiSportContact 5 Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 - 225/45 R17 91Y FR TL
£87.90


Does anyone have any thoughts? I just wish there was such a wide range at such a low price for my car!

I have the Eagle F1's and love them.

Uniroyal Rainsport 3 ~78 (RS2's same price and both have the alloy protecion flangey bit)
Eagle F1 ~85
Michelin PS3 ~93
Avon ZV5 ~68/73.50 with alloy flangey bit
Toyo Proxes T1-R ~ 75.90
Hankook V12 Evo ~78.90
Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta ~ 79.90

Just looked on mytyres.co.uk for prices
The above are tyres I've seen recommended recently.
The PS3's sem a good price, I've always liked the Hankook Evos.

AFAIK you can change the profiles as long as you dont change the rating 91W then it shoudln't have any effect on your insurance premium, might find slightly different profiles can be a fair chunk cheaper at times. Always check with your insurer first tho.
