What Tyre??????

Comments

  • 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.

    Because they are absolute rubbish and have zero grip in the wet.

    You'll regret buying cheap tyres as you're sliding out of control towards that brick wall.

    These are some of the 'Which' best buys.

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

    check to see if Michelin do Energy Tyres for your required size. They save 5% on the cost of fuel, so can end up paying for themselves.



    I do feel obliged to tell you I work for Michelin in their car tyre factory up here in Scotland, I've seen what goes into making them and how strict everything is, and tbh I'd never put anything cheaper on my car if it could be avoided.
