Which tyres?

[C.K]

Hi guys, looking for some help deciding which tyres to go for. I am looking to replace all four tyres, which are: 195/45/R16.

I currently have mixed budget tyres which came on the car, which are 'a chilles', 'milanza hero' & 'accelera'!

I was going to buy Toyo Proxes T1-R's, but I have read they don't last very long at all - So I am looking for good all rounder's, rather than something which will offer insane grip but won't last very long at all!

I would like to spend around £70-80 per corner?

Car is a Fiesta Mk6.

Cheers,
Adam.

Thanks for the help Bledd.

Would you recommend the Conti's over the Toyo Proxes T1-R's then for the Fiesta?

I heard they don't last very well if you like a fast drive, and cornering quick? As mentioned in my OP, I have only ever had budget tyre's, so im not looking to get insane grip and have them wear quickly.

If so, that would leave me choosing between the Conti SP2 and SP3's as they are priced very much the same.

Are Hankook tyre's any good? Such as the Ventus S1 Evo K107? My local garage seem to highly rate this brand.

EDIT:

Hi cwhitehead, which Kumho's are they? As Black circles have the Kumho Ecsta HM KH31's for £69.79 fully fitted with triple clubcard points at the minute.


Cheers,
Adam

Looks like the Hankook Ventus Prime 2 - K115's are the better tyres, and they currently have them in stock.

What you reckon guys?

Which Conti's would you recommend Fox? Premium or Sport contact? 2 or 3?

Keeping in mind I would rather tyres that last longer, as I won't exactly be pushing them as such!

Cheers,
Adam.

Cheers guys, think I will go with the continental sport contact 3's.

Cheapest I can get them for is £345 fully fitted.

Cheers,
Adam
