What Tyre??????

katie_jane_2

Hi,

I have a VW Sharan people carrier that is ready for 4 new tyres. In the past on my previous cars I have just gone with the cheepest budget's I can find but this car is usually full of kids so I want to do the right thing and get the safest tyres I can.

I have just had a quote from the QuickFit site for approx 360... ouch.

Please can someone recomend a good safe and cost effective tyre thats not going to cost me the earth!

My tyre size is 215/55 R16 95H

Thanks in advance.

Kate.

I use Kumho tyres for my Alhambra, they cost about £55 but they are only 15" wheels. From memory the 16" tyres should have the re-inforced side walls, I don't know if Kumho do a suitable tyre for your car, buts it worth checking out.

I've been using Kumho for a few years & find them to be as good as Michelins that I had on previously. Don't be too put off if you haven't heard of them, they have been the control tyre for the British Formula 3 & Tarmac Rally series' for the last couple of years.

Continental Contisports have always done me well in all manner of weathers.

Never buy Pirelli P6000s whatever anyone says.

Thaks everyone. I went with Blackcircles and ordered 4 x Dunlop SP Sport 2020E, I used the RRAF discount code and got £15 off the order, £345 in total including valve balancing and fitting.

Not too cheap but I think good value for money.

Hi,

I've just used e-tyres. They are really cheap and thy come to you. They are a mobile fitting team. I saved over 30% compared to Kwik-Fit. They are about 10-15% cheaper than Black Circle. They also detail the tyres to help you choose. I hope this helps.

I don't know why Pirelli bother making tyres. After 6 months they usually end up going out of shape...

Hi

I am just about to renew all 4 tyres and have spent today searching for the cheapest price for Pirelli p6000's 185/55H15.

Can I ask why not Pirelli?

I could do with saving money so if anyone can give me advice on cheaper makes too that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My problem is I have never tried anything else so I don't have a clue but when I think on it, yes they are noisy.

Thank you
