Well i have been looking at tyres for my car and i have no clue which is the best brand of tyre!

My tyre size is 165/70T13

Any help would be much appreciated:)
 
DitchFinder(TM) ExcelPerformance should be fine for a girl methinks.

Not that a Corsa can go fast enough to need decent tyres anyway :p ;)

For a girl!!! You are treading on thin ice my dear boy!!!! Dont you diss my corsa, grrrr :mad: :p
 
There doesn't seem to be a great deal of choice in that particular size. As long as you stick to one of the well known manufacturers you should be fine, eg. Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli, Vredstein, Falken, Kumho, Toyo, Avon etc..

Don't go for the cheapest option but if you don't drive enthusiasticly there's no point in buying the most expensive tyres (unless you can afford it of course).

Middle of the road mainstream manufacturer is the way to go :)

You're welcome :D
It depends on your driving style. I had a set of Pirelli P6000's on my Passat which were absolutely fine for normal driving but when it came to pushing it in the wet they were a bit dodgy. As long as you don't push the boundaries they'll do the job.

Your current setup sounds a bit dodgy! I'd change that ASAP if I were you :eek: Ideally you should have the same tyres all round or at least an identical pair per axle. Your best bet would be to take the car to a tyre place and see what they have and as long as it's one of the more well known manufacturers you shouldn't have to worry. Anything is better than a different tyre on each wheel!
 
Totally agree with the above, madness to mix tyres on a axle, just go for a well known brand, its not like you have 200bhp of tyre thrashing rwd metal to keep on the road ;)
