Tyre size is 215/50W17. Of those available are any worth considering?

The recommended replacement size for the Vectra assuming a C is

225 45 17

As listed in the handbook. As they are more widely available they are usually cheaper.

Remember cost isn't everything, the tyre at the end of the day is the only contact your car has with the ground.

Thanks, but im aware of that. I dont buy that the most expensive is always the best in any situation.

Thank you all - some really usefull info.

I think ive narrowed it down then to:

4 x Falken at £335

or

4 x Nexen at £320

What would you go for?

Ive called a few local tyre places and they cant get anywhere near these kind of prices

It's a shame that you can't get near that from a local fitting centre. I am one (yep, local and fit!) and the Nexens come out at £310 the set from me, fully fitted (new valve, balance, VAT, disposal, cup of cha and a smile) and they'd also come with a lifetime accidental damage warranty FOC.

I like the Nexens and have had many repeat customers for them. The Falkens tend to be priced that little bit higher that some other mid range which often puts people off but they are a really good tyre.
