You're welcome
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 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!

That was my thought!!! lol, i know your meant to have at least 2 tyres the same for the axles but thats what i had when i got it!! will have to try and get it sorted

Can you tell me what an axle is, Tinkerbell?

Its connects the two wheels together to move the car when steering(front two wheels together, two rear wheels together)?!?!?! lol

You should be able to get something half decent for about £30 a corner. Pirelli P3000 Energy is £29.30

Know where i could buy the tyres, but not pay for them to be fitted?

Sputnik II said:
Why ? you want to fit them yourself ?

Well i could, but everytime i touch the tyres my hands get black :mad:

lol, but my dad can do it
