New Tyres for a 2011 KA Zetec

Hi all,

New to the site, so apologies if I've done this all wrong!

I'm on the look-out for some decent priced new tyres for my 2011 Ford KA Zetec (I'm a bit harsh on the brakes so they wore out pretty quickly!)

The current tyres are Michelins and I believe the tyre size I need is 165/60H14. I've had a look at replacing the exact tyres I have and it's rather expensive - does anyone have any suggestions for a good brand that's a little cheaper?

Thanks in advance

    Try tyre shopper or black circles.

    There is a 6% off code knocking around fpr tyre shopper.

    Try asking a price for Hankook. They are usually good mid-range tyres.

    I'd love to have your tyre size starting at £35 a tyre or so!

    I'd echo the Hankook suggestions but I've heard reports that they wear quite quickly.
  • Thank you all for your replies :)

    Just had a quick look at some Hankook tyres - they do them at ATS and there's an ATS down the road from me, so if they can do them at a good price I think I'll go there.

    If not I'll definitely look into tyre shopper.

    Thanks again!

    Check online eg blackcircles first, I seriously doubt ATS will give you best deal.

    Is it 165 65R14 75 T that you are looking for?

    The OP said 165/60H14 in the first post, although I suppose they did say 'believe'.
