Hi there

I have put this in another thread but now realised that that was not suitable place for this help seeking request.

I am looking to change two tyres of my NISSAN MICRA GX 1.3i. The tyre size is 155/70T13i.

I do not have much experience in this area so do not know which is the more reliable and safe brand for these type of tyres.

Every experience sharing and advice is appreciated and welcomed.

Thanks.

    Try the usual places on the net - https://www.etyres.co.uk were cheap when I used them recently.

    Search for 155 70 13 tyres and stick to well known brands (Michelin, Goodyear, Continental etc) unless you want to go 'budget' and save a bit but they may not wear as well.

    Good luck

    All tyres should be manufactured to the same international standard.

    As rsvtoddy says the difference is more to do with the compound of the rubber which affects grip and wear rates, and tread pattern which determines all season or rain or winter use and the amount of road noise.

    Large grooves disperse more water but in dry conditions the air going through them produces more noise.

    When I get in tonight I will host the Autoexpress report on tyres that I have so everyone can have a look.
    I have a cunning plan!

    Also look at http://www.mytyres.co.uk, prices include VAT and delivery, but you need to find someone to fit them

    a small example of your size of tyres:

    Pirelli P3000 - £25
    Dunlop SP30 - £25.90
