I currently have efficient grip performance 2 on my car and more than happy with them

You could probably have a look round and get whatever’s cheapest from the ones tested?

Thanks, I’ve found a deal for 4 of the efficient grip performance 2’s fitted at ATS for £293 which seems like a good deal. H rating looks fine to me, I’m presuming I’m correct?

H is Speed Rating - Rated upto 130MPH, so will be absolutely fine.

Would be no good for me when on way back with a Pathia… :cool::D
 
Drove a vehicle on budget tyres earlier, don't even ask me what they were, and even at ~7C the comparison to ~14C earlier in the day was concerning with the feel of scrabbling for grip even mildly chucking them into a corner.

Think I need it - drove one of the work vans earlier and even at ~15 MPH you could tell it was on 4 different tyres :( and probably not tyre related but near full lock it felt like the handbrake was still on and at full lock was creaking and groaning like anything - it is on like 202 or 206K miles or something though (21 plate).

One of my colleagues has two new tyres on the front of a small hatchback... cheap Chinese brand all-seasons (Ovation), with very worn ditch finders on the back... good luck emergency braking in the wet... probably the only saving grace is they are cheap Chinese ones as a better brand would probably be even more lethal with the comparative grip front vs rear.

I'd be more worried about lift off oversteer in the wet.

Bit annoying how some sizes can be even double the price of other sizes even close ones.

I found that with mine and it was cheaper to upsize slightly. I should be on 205/40/18 but at the time 215s were £60 cheaper each and had a much bigger selection.
