Hi All,

I wonder if anyone is able to help with some advice.

My car takes 215/50/17 tyres and i am thinking of changing to all season tyres before winter to help with winter driving without having to go to full winter tyres.

I have to stick to the above size and have a load/speed rating of 95/V at least according to my handbook.

Ive had a look online for fitted prices and would be grateful for comments on the tyres below :

Star Performer SPTS AS £68 a tyre
Hankook Kinergy 4S H740 £100 a tyre
Maxxis MA-AS £105 a tyre
Falken Euro All Season AS200 £105 a tyre

PS I need 4 tyres...

Thank you in advance...

    Michelin cross climate tyres get good reviews, dunno how much they are though.

    +1. Apparently much better than all-seasons which are a compromise...
  • Haha Michelin are a joke. You are paying for the name and marketing/advertising.

    I run Falkens on both my Jags with absolutely no complaints at all. Much better than the Pirelli's that were on before.

    I have Pirelli all-seasons on my car and had Goodyear before that. Not used the Pirellis in winter yet but the Goodyears were excellent, in the UK and abroad.

    But then the OP would need to pay for fitting so it would probably end up more than the price they have already found.

    Go away Dark Matter.

    You are boring everyone now.

    I see your posting style has gone back to normal now that you have been outed in more than one thread.

    All Seasons are popular in the US and they are likely to be a good middle ground.

    Though my concern would be they will be noisier than Summer tyres wth less grip in dry conditions and not as good in Snow or cold weather than a full on Winter

    All comes down to budget

    You can't go wrong with Michelins really, Maxxis are getting a good name and even do motorbike tyres.

    But as the Hankook is cheaper I would go for them as I have used them on more than one car and I had no issues whatsoever.

    What car is it, that size is not common as so can be expensive compared to other sizes that may also be suitable?
